I had written a GUI with several buttons and I wanted one of the buttons to show its context menu regardless of the user right or left clicking the button. The whole purpose of the button was to show the user a menu of options and a context menu fit the need just fine, but I needed it to display with either click option. I came up with the code below to accomplish this but I feel like I might be missing some very obvious easier way to do this and I feel it's a little lame to be forcing a right click mouse action on the button as a result of the user doing a left click, but it works! Anyone have a suggestion of a better way to do this? Otherwise, if this idea helps you, here you go. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> LeftClickContextTest() Func LeftClickContextTest() Local $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 200, 100) Local $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show Context", 15, 40, 85, 25) Local $close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 110, 40, 85, 25) Local $context = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($button) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test Context Item 1", $context) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test Context Item 2", $context) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test Context Item 3", $context) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $close ExitLoop Case $button MouseClick("right", MouseGetPos(0), MouseGetPos(1), 1, 0) EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc

It has been a while since I last installed and used Autoit, I just installed the latest version along with Scite. For some reason, I do not have the option to create new .au3 files when right clicking. I have tried rebooting, and running the installation as administrator as mentioned in other threads. no joy... OS = Windows 10 Enterprise version 1806 Thanks in advance!

The WM_COMMAND never fires from the context/popup menu selection while there is a treeview using _GuiCtrlTreeview_Create If you comment out _GuiCtrlTreeview_Create line you will then see the right click selection works as expected and the debug is written to the console on selection. Autoit Ver 3.3.14.2 Any ideas why this combination won't work together? Thanks

Mak Context Entry Creator +|=========================================|+ Mak Context Entry Creator is a small autoit compiled tool which allow user to create a executable shortcut at their desktop right click.

I found this example on an edit control: #include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> Global Enum $idOpen = 1000, $idSave, $idInfo $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200) $Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 280, 150, BitOR($WS_HSCROLL, $WS_VSCROLL, $ES_MULTILINE)) $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup() _GUICtrlMenu_AddMenuItem($hMenu, "Open", $idOpen) _GUICtrlMenu_AddMenuItem($hMenu, "Save", $idSave) _GUICtrlMenu_AddMenuItem($hMenu, "Info", $idInfo) GUISetState() $wProcHandle = DllCallbackRegister("_WindowProc", "ptr", "hwnd;uint;wparam;lparam") $wProcOld = _WinAPI_SetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($Edit1), $GWL_WNDPROC, DllCallbackGetPtr($wProcHandle)) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSwitch WEnd GUIDelete($hGui) DllCallbackFree($wProcHandle) Func _WindowProc($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) Switch $hWnd Case GUICtrlGetHandle($Edit1) Switch $Msg Case $WM_CONTEXTMENU _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $wParam) Return 0 Case $WM_COMMAND Switch $wParam Case $idOpen ConsoleWrite("-> Open" & @LF) Case $idSave ConsoleWrite("-> Save" & @LF) Case $idInfo ConsoleWrite("-> Info" & @LF) EndSwitch EndSwitch EndSwitch Local $aRet = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "CallWindowProc", "ptr", $wProcOld, _ "hwnd", $hWnd, "uint", $Msg, "wparam", $wParam, "lparam", $lParam) Return $aRet[0] EndFunc How could the above be done for a richedit control?
