Does anyone know if it is possible for KiXForms to support a right click and then show a submenu of options/commands to act on?

As an example, in Explorer, you can select mulitiple items, right click and then click on copy.

Idealy, I would like have a listview of items. Be able to muliselect items within the list, and then be able to right click and a submenu of items comes up to act on those selected.

See for example Kixforms: Which mouse button was clicked? . There's also been a script that demonstrated a true context-menu system, just can't find it right now as I don't remember what the name was.

Theres no support for builtin context menus off the ListView yet - although I believe that member krabourn did try to make a custom jobby using a popup form that behaved like a menu. Think that Jim (jtokach) was also playing with this.

The other thing you might do is simply use the regular-old pull-down menu on the form to "act" on the SelectedItems in the ListView ... or use a stand-alone Button or ToolButton along the top of the form. Thats what I usualy do.

This was a test script when we were talking about it.
code:
Break On

$Form = CreateObject("Kixtart.Form")
$Form.Size = 400, 400
$Form.Center
$Form.ForeColor = Blue
$Form.OnMouseDown = "OnFormMouseDown"
FUNCTION OnFormMouseDown
	If $Form.MouseButton = 2
		; Right-click
		fnPopup($Form.Left + $Form.MouseX, $Form.Top + $Form.MouseY)
	ENDIF
EndFunction

$Form.Show
$Form.PrintXY(10, 10, "Form Left " + $Form.Left)
$Form.PrintXY(10, 30, "Form Top " + $Form.Top)
WHILE $Form.Visible
	$=Execute($Form.DoEvents())
Loop

Exit 1

FUNCTION fnPopup($FormSLeft, $FormSTop)
	$FormS = CreateObject("Kixtart.Form")
	$FormS.BorderStyle = 0
	$FormS.ClientWidth = 100
	$FormS.ClientHeight = 35
	$FormS.Top = $FormSTop + 30
	$FormS.Left = $FormSLeft + 5
	$FormS.ForeColor = Red
	$FormS.Show
	$FormS.Rectangle(0, 0, $FormS.ClientWidth, $FormS.ClientHeight)
	$btnClose = $FormS.CommandButton("Click Me", 10, 5, 80, 25)
	$btnClose.OnClick = "$$FormS.Hide"
	While $FormS.Visible
		$=Execute($FormS.DoEvents())
	Loop
ENDFUNCTION

Kelly,

I modified your example to make it appear more like a real context menu. Hope you like it...

Added another "Context MenuItem." [Wink]

Shawn, HorizontalAlignment doesn't seem to work.

Thats looking pretty good. Could even add some icons to the left of the menuitem ... the Alignment property doesn't control the alignment of text, it controls the alignment of text in relation to the icon, so for example:

code:
        $btnClose.FlatStyle = 1
        $btnClose.Icon = 1 ; OpenFolder
	$btnClose.Alignment = 0 ; Right
        $btnClose.HotBackColor = Navy
        $btnClose.HotForeColor = White
And those menu colors look just like the real thing.

okay... lets say in the above example you want the subcontext menu items 1 - 10. Is it possible to do something like...

for $button = 1 to 10
CreateButton
next

Also, if the above is possible, how would you know what button is pressed?

You mean like create a dynamic menu - displaying strings from say, an array of menuitem strings ?

Heres a really quick re-working of Chris's script (sorry, dont have postprep with me). It uses Controls Arrays as opposed to dynamically created $Variables using the EXECUTE() function. Personally, I'm a big fan of control arrays but I am sure you will hear from other Kixforms developers that use the Execute method.

Thanks! Your example is exactly what I was looking for...

I've been playing with the alignment and would like to align left. When I tried changing the .alignment=1 it didn't appear that anything changed. For my purposes I do not need an icon on the left either... is the space that the icon occupies required?

I also dug around on KiXForms.com but did not find any docs on Toolbutton... am I missing something.

Thanks again.

As mentioned somewhere before (kforg I think) the .Alignment Property for ToolButton is relative to its Icon ...

So ... try this :

(Caution the 'nul' Icon changes (still) from release to release)

this is for the latest beta 2 (build 40)


break on

$f = createobject("KiXtart.Form")


$b = $f.ToolButton("LeftAligned",$f.ClientWidth/2-40,$f.ClientHeight/2-10,80,20)
$b.Icon = 60
$b.Alignment = 1

$f.Show

while $f.visible
    $ = execute($f.DoEvents)
loop

WOW! [Cool] Sorry for the slow response. I had a funeral in Indiana to go to this weekend.

I like what you have come up with. When Shawn adds mouse events to ListView that can tell me row and column, I will definatly start with one of these.

Since the textalignment for ToolButton is not implemented yet, a work-around is to use a fixed-length font and pad the "menuitems" with spaces.


Break On
 
$Form = CreateObject("Kixtart.Form")
$Form.Size = 400, 400

        $Item = fnPopup($Menu,$Form.Left + $Form.MouseX, $Form.Top + $Form.MouseY)
