I have not been able to generate custom context menus by right clicking in Multi-Edit table (MET) cells (even in edit mode). The method that works for edit lines & boxes does not seem to function in METs.

Can anyone help me?

I believe that the value passed in Message for a right mouse click on an edit table is 123.

Karim/Don

x=Send_Message(Control, 'QUALIFY_EVENT', '0x7b', 1)

where control is an edittable.

Hope it helps-

Karim,

This was supplied by a very helpful allegedly ex-employee at RevSoft…

Edittables consists of two windows:

1) Internal (DataTbl class) and

2) External (EditTbl class).

Presentation Server (OI) only traces the external one, so it doesn't see the messages sent by Windows to the internal window (unless the internal window explicitly re-sends it). However, there is a message (WM_PARENTNOTIFY – 0x210) that is being re-sent for all the mouse events to the external window with wParam= and lParam=

To use:

1) On CREATE event for a window qualify the edittable's event:

   equ WM_PARENTNOTIFY$ to 528 ;* 0x210

   ...

   Send_Message(@window:'.TABLE', 'QUALIFY_EVENT', WM_PARENTNOTIFY$, 1)

2) On WINMSG event for an edittable check for right button click and

 re-send it which will trigger the context menu logic.

• hWnd and lParam are passed in for WINMSG event

   equ WM_RBUTTONDOWN$   to 516 ;* 0x204

   if wParam=WM_RBUTTONDOWN$ then

        call PostMessage(hWnd, WM_RBUTTONDOWN$, 0, lParam)

   end
