Right click menu and sending messages
-
hi all, i'm ashamed to ask such questions, but i can't even figure it out how i can form a query to search for this on the web site or the internet... 1. i need to mimic standard menu items from user-defined ones... let me explain, MFC - standard MDI app (made by the wizard) has few standard menu items (File->Open... for example). Now i made a dilog, which has a button in it, and if the user clcks that button, the handler must act like it's a standard CDocument::OnOpenDocument(...) method. I know, I can construct CFileDialog myself, show it to the user and call CMyDoc::OnOpenDocument(string)... but this will defeat Doc-View approach... What can i do? Just send the message ID_FILE_OPEN... to what window than?? 2. right button click and a popup menu appears. what's it name? where can read more about it? thanks for your time! alex debug - is my life style
