Cancel default input context menu

[this-is-me]

I have been trying to cancel the default context menu on a gui, and haven't been doing so well.

I have a piece of code hastily thrown together to show what I have tried so far:

#Include <GuiConstants.au3>
$WM_CONTEXTMENU = 0x007B
$test = GuiCreate("test")
GuiCtrlCreateInput("test", 0, 0, 30, 30)
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CONTEXTMENU, "catchcontext")
GuiSetState()
While 1
sleep(1000)
wend

Func catchcontext($hWndGUI, $MsgID)
msgbox(0,"","")
return
endfunc

As you can see when right-clicking the gui, the message is captured only from the gui itself, not on the input box. I am attempting to cancel any context menu whatsoever from the inputbox.

Hello Everyone. Just bumping for further perusal.

*Bump* Anyone?

This would require subclassing the edit control so that you can catch it's messages and discard the one that triggers the menu. You can not use AutoIt to subclass a window.

[this-is-me]

When you say subclass the edit box, doesn't GuiRegisterMsg allow subclassing for the Gui window?

[Valik]

No. You have to provide your own Window procedure to subclass a window. There is no way to write a Window procedure in AutoIt. It requires the ability to use AutoIt functions as callbacks to C API functions.

I see. Thanks anyway. I will cancel it in another way.

Why can't the user right click the edit control?

[this-is-me]

I don't want them to, and that's all the info you get.

We can't help if you aren't nice. It doesn't matter if AutoIt can do it or not. We will or will not help based on you and you should know that being an experienced forum user.

@Icekirby1, I will explain this very simply.

• Valik has explained that this cannot be done using AutoIt.
• I have accepted his answer and have decided to pursue another avenue.
• If this thread had a close button I would have used it two posts ago, because the matter is resolved.
• Your help (or anyone else's) at this time is a mute point. Neither do I need any additional help on this matter nor did I request it again.

Therefore, thank you for your offer, but any additional comments in this thread are superflous.
