How to disable system menu

[Manfred Staiger]

Hello everybody, i want to avoid the menu which pops up with a right click on the taskbar button of an application but I find no way to trap this event. Does anybody have a solution for this problem?

The following code (though a bit ugly :rolleyes:) does the job:

CMenu * pMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE);
while ( pMenu->DeleteMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION)) {}

however, as side-effect, it also disables the close button at the top-right corner of the window (unfortunately I was not able to find another way... :rolleyes:). :)

Hello cpallini, thanks a lot, that seems to work. The disabled close button does not affect my purpose.
