Hello Filip,

I am still working on the updates for SSMenu.Dll. I was hoping by the
end of this week, but I have ended up having to work some long hours,
and havn't had the time or energy to work in the update. Hopefully, I will
get a day or two off this weekend, which might allow me to catch up. This
is still going to take some time as I have added many new and advanced
abilities to SSMenu.Dll. It is probably going to be a couple of weeks or so
before the update is finished.

As for your second question, if you are referring to using a TASKICON
and then creating a custom popup menu with SSMenu.Dll, the answer is
yes. One of the new features is the ability to define your own menus and
menus with submenus. Plus many more things.

Happy coding...

Hi Beweckel,

Although I don't think it is possible, is there any way of including a right-click event for menu items?

Thanks,

- Boo

Hi Boo,

Actually, it is possible Shocked

. For example, run Internet Explorer and then click
on the Favorites menu. You can do a right click on that menu and another
menu pops up with varying options for that menu.

I will see what I can do Twisted Evil

, but I can't promise that I'll be able to duplicate
this feature.

Happy coding...

Cool! Thanks.

Sorry Boo,

I can get the RCLICK event but VDS doesn't process the event until the
user dismisses the popup and menubar, or selects an item which then
overwrites the previous RCLICK event Confused

Hi Bill,

No problem; thanks anyway. I figured this might be the case, as Prakash tried to implement a right-click event into his awesome popup extension-- but to no avail. (Just not possible, I suppose.)

However, because I need something similar, I think I might have a workaround...

Again, thanks. Cool

Cheers,

- Boo

Hey Boo,

Your welcome. At the very least, it was a worthy experiment for me. Cool

Happy coding...

Yup the same problem happened when I tried to implement that in. It seems the mouse message que is halted until the popup is dismissed. I can catch the mouse events too but they are always incorrect.

One method I thougt would work is to use an external app to record all mouse events and also record the active window handle the mouse is on; then when the external app detects the popup/menu is open (by its handle) and a RIGHT click event occurs - to then issue/notify the main app. Problem is the main app would not get that event until the menu/popup has been dismissed.

Couldn't you create a new thread and pop up the menu in that? Then the VDS script would carry on executing while the menu is popped up.

Hello Jules and PG,

I haven't given up on the RCLICK event yet, and the thread idea is a
good idea, so I'll give that a try. I managed to add a bunch of commands
and functions without creating another thread, but that may just be what
is needed, at least in this case.

I'll tinker around with it and see just what we come up with Wink

.

Happy coding...
