Greetings fellows, I have an issue that is bothering me for quite some time now (Since Autoit3 V3.3.8.0 and still not solved in 3.3.14.0) and i have not found any clue how to solve this particular problem regarding the control of popup-menus for specific controls. I have been searching using many keywords in the hope to find a similar posted issue either on the internet or here on this forum but did not yet stumbled upon it so i have no other option than to post the question (Sorry if there would exist an earlier topic). Below is an example that demonstrates the issue very clearly if you follow the steps to reproduce: #include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ListViewConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $TestWindow1 = GUICreate("TestWindow1", 353, 277, 100, 80) $ListView1 = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 8, 8, 338, 262) $ListView1_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem1", $ListView1) $ListView1_1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem2", $ListView1) $ListView1_2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem3", $ListView1) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $TestWindow2 = GUICreate("TestWindow2", 353, 277, 100 + 400, 80) $ListView2 = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 8, 8, 338, 262) $ListView2_0 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem1", $ListView2) $ListView2_1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem2", $ListView2) $ListView2_2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("TestItem3", $ListView2) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "WM_NOTIFY") Local $MenuContext, $MenuContext2 Local $ahLVMenu[3] Local $ahLVMenu2[3] For $i = 0 To 2 $ahLVMenu[$i] = GUICtrlCreateDummy() $ahLVMenu2[$i] = GUICtrlCreateDummy() Next While 1 Local $nMsg = GUIGetMsg(1) Switch $nMsg[0] Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE If $nMsg[1] == $TestWindow2 Then GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $nMsg[1]) Else Exit EndIf Case $ahLVMenu[0] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 1, Item 1" & @CRLF) Case $ahLVMenu[1] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 1, Item 2" & @CRLF) Case $ahLVMenu[2] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 1, Item 3" & @CRLF) Case $ahLVMenu2[0] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 2, Item 1" & @CRLF) Case $ahLVMenu2[1] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 2, Item 2" & @CRLF) Case $ahLVMenu2[2] ConsoleWrite("Dialog 2, Item 3" & @CRLF) EndSwitch WEnd Func WM_NOTIFY($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) #forceref $hWnd, $Msg, $wParam Local $hWndFrom, $iIDFrom, $event, $tNMHDR, $hWndListView, $hWndListView2, $tInfo $hWndListView = $ListView1 $hWndListView2 = $ListView2 Local $tMsgFilter, $hMenu If Not IsHWnd($ListView1) Then $hWndListView = GUICtrlGetHandle($ListView1) If Not IsHWnd($ListView2) Then $hWndListView2 = GUICtrlGetHandle($ListView2) $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $lParam) $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom")) $iIDFrom = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "IDFrom") $event = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code") Switch $hWndFrom Case $hWndListView2 Switch $event Case $NM_RCLICK ; Sent by a list-view control when the user clicks an item with the right mouse button _LV_PopUpMenu2() ; Show popup context menu in Pharmacist article list EndSwitch Case $hWndListView Switch $event Case $NM_RCLICK ; Sent by a list-view control when the user clicks an item with the right mouse button _LV_PopUpMenu() ; Show popup context menu in Pharmacist article list EndSwitch EndSwitch $hWndFrom = 0 $iIDFrom = 0 $tNMHDR = 0 $hWndListView = 0 $hWndListView2 = 0 $tInfo = 0 $tMsgFilter = 0 $hMenu = 0 Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>WM_NOTIFY Func _LV_PopUpMenu() $MenuContext = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup(40) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext, 0, "Dialog 1, item 1", $ahLVMenu[0]) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext, 1, "Dialog 1, item 2", $ahLVMenu[1]) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext, 2, "Dialog 1, item 3", $ahLVMenu[2]) _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($MenuContext, $TestWindow1) _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($MenuContext) Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_LV_PopUpMenu Func _LV_PopUpMenu2() $MenuContext2 = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup(40) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext2, 0, "Dialog 2, item 1", $ahLVMenu2[0]) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext2, 1, "Dialog 2, item 2", $ahLVMenu2[1]) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($MenuContext2, 2, "Dialog 2, item 3", $ahLVMenu2[2]) _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($MenuContext2, $TestWindow2) _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($MenuContext2) Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_LV_PopUpMenu2 I have two window dialogs and two listview controls defined. Each listview control has its own popup menu and menu items. The code above works fine as long as both window dialogs are visible. You can right-click on each listview control and you get the designated menu popped up and if you select an item, the message for the specific item is being written into the console frame for it. However, if you close window 2, and attempt to trigger the options in the popup menu for window 1, you will notice that the notification messages are no longer being triggered at all. The popup menu becomes visible if you right-click the area and disappears if you select an option, but the control item no longer sends a notification which means that the attached events for the trapping are no longer being executed. Now if you switch the code snippets of the window frames being generated, you will notice you can achieve the same issue the other way round, which means that context menu item notifications are being received and trigger an event routine as long as window 1 would then in that case remain open. So it seems that whichever window is generated the last, that window somehow seems to get attached to the notification messages that are being send by the dummy controls for the context menu items. Do i misinterpret something here, is there a fix for this issue or did i encountered some kind of bug inside Autoit3?
