MapForums

Can someone tell me how I go about coding in VB6 how to intercept and prevent the context menu from displaying when I right-click on the MapPoint control? - I suspect I have to use the SelectionChange event, but I am not sure what I need to do. My goal is to prevent menu interaction when a user right-clicks on the control.

Thanks,

A quick and easy way to do it in VIsual C++ is to catch the mouse down event and capture the momuse up event in the parent control of the mappoint control.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// JMapPointCtrl message handlers

void
JMapPointCtrl::OnParentNotify( UINT message, LPARAM lParam )
{
if (message == WM_RBUTTONDOWN)
{
SetCapture();
}
}
void
JMapPointCtrl::OnRButtonUp( UINT nFlags, CPoint point )
{
//Just swallow this event to disable the shortcut menu
ReleaseCapture();
}

Hi,

put an eventhandler in before click and set cancelto true
