CWnd::OnRButtonUp( )

[LeeeNN]

I down a example (gridctrl_demo225) to study. in the code one thing puzzled me. platform : VC.Net a CGridCtrl based on CWnd, a Dialog(CDlgA) is the parent of the CGridCtrl instance. following is a part of the code // EFW - Added to forward right click to parent so that a context // menu can be shown without deriving a new grid class. void CGridCtrl::OnRButtonUp(UINT nFlags, CPoint point) { CWnd::OnRButtonUp(nFlags, point); // !!!this call trigers CDlgA::OnContextMenu(...) : : } I read document of CWnd::OnRButtonUp(nFlags, point), it does not say, it will triger parent's OnContextMenu. so if I say CWnd::OnRButtonUp(nFlags, point) calls parent's OnContextMenu(...). Is it right? And the weird thing is I set a breakpoint in CDlgA::OnContextMenu(...) want to see who calls it. There is no records of callstack.

You shouldn't handle WM_RBUTTONUP if you want the default context menu handling, because the default window proc will send a WM_CONTEXTMENU when it sees WM_RBUTTONUP. If you do context menu handling in response to WM_RBUTTONUP, the user won't be able to bring up the context menu using the keyboard.

in CGridCtrl::OnRButtonUp() it calls base class's CWnd::OnRButtonUp() so My DlgA::OnContextMenu() was called. I want do same thing for my View. But why MyView::OnContextMenu() won't be called. MyView is CGridCtrl's parent. same as DlgA
