1. How to add to Edit Text default context menu

I am writing a program with edit fields using win32lib version "0.70.20" Windows has a right click context menu used on EditText fields with (Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select all). I would like to keep that functionality intact, and add more items. How can this be done? Thank you in advance.

Wow that is a great program. I like your library better than win32lib. I should try to port my program. But before that, one would need to completely replace all of the functionality of the context menu. I found this website - http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/deepak.sharma00/how-to-customize-default-contextmenu-of-a-textbox-control-in/ Specifically, menu items need to be disabled if they are not currently appropriate. Thanks. If I port my program and run into problems, we will probably be in touch again. Also, isn't it funny that the 3 of us share the same name - me (Andrew / Andy), you (Andreas), and Andrea whose project you based yours on.

This is amazing. If this library can call the Windows font dialog, why can't it call the Windows color dialog? The disabling of Paste requires the ability to interrogate the Windows clipboard. That is a minor issue, since if there is nothing to paste, nothing will get pasted. Actually, I really like your library, and I was hoping that we could work together to expand it, if I were to port my program to your library, and found things were missing. If you are interested, let me know. If you would like the current version of my program, let me know. It is too large to paste in a forum.

Here is an example of something I've done a few times. You can trap the WM_CONTEXTMENU message using w32HEvent and then display your own Popup menu instead. It's really quite straight-forward. From there you can use whatever menu you'd like. In this example, I've added the control key shortcuts and an "About" menu option.

-- w32Text.ew 
-- Here are several extra Win32Lib EditText functions 
-- 
-- can_clear() 
-- can_copy() 
-- can_cut() 
-- can_paste() 
-- can_select() 
-- can_undo() 
-- get_selection() 
-- select_all() 
-- 
 
include Win32Lib.ew 
 
public function get_selection( integer id ) 
     
    atom result = sendMessage( id, EM_GETSEL, 0, 0 ) 
     
    integer index = w32lo_word( result ) 
    integer range = w32hi_word( result ) 
     
    return {index,range} 
end function 
 
public function can_undo( integer id ) 
    return sendMessage( id, EM_CANUNDO, 0, 0 ) 
end function 
 
public function can_cut( integer id ) 
    sequence sel = get_selection( id ) 
    return (sel[2] - sel[1]) > 0 
end function 
 
public function can_copy( integer id ) 
    sequence sel = get_selection( id ) 
    return (sel[2] - sel[1]) > 0 
end function 
 
public function can_paste( integer id ) 
    return w32Func( xIsClipboardFormatAvailable, {CF_TEXT} ) 
end function 
 
public function can_clear( integer id ) 
    sequence sel = get_selection( id ) 
    return (sel[2] - sel[1]) > 0 
end function 
 
public function can_select( integer id ) 
    sequence text = getText( id ) 
    return length( text ) > 0 
end function 
 
public procedure select_all( integer id ) 
    setIndex( id, {1,0} ) 
end procedure

Not a bug. This is by design. See the Microsoft developer docs ...
