Menu Command Service

Hi,

I have created my MenuCommandService class like the code below but how do I show a context menu on a control?

Code Snippet

internal class MenuCommandService : IMenuCommandService

{

ArrayList menuCommands = null;

public MenuCommandService()

{

menuCommands = new ArrayList();

}

public void AddCommand(System.ComponentModel.Design.MenuCommand command)

{

menuCommands.Add(command);

}

public void AddVerb(System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerVerb verb)

{

}

public System.ComponentModel.Design.MenuCommand FindCommand(System.ComponentModel.Design.CommandID commandID)

{

return null;

}

public bool GlobalInvoke(System.ComponentModel.Design.CommandID commandID)

{

foreach(MenuCommand command in menuCommands)

{

if (command.CommandID == commandID)

{

command.Invoke();

break;

}

return false;

}

public void RemoveCommand(System.ComponentModel.Design.MenuCommand command)

{

menuCommands.Remove(command);

}

public void RemoveVerb(System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerVerb verb)

{

}

public void ShowContextMenu(System.ComponentModel.Design.CommandID menuID, int x, int y)

{

}

public System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerVerbCollection Verbs

{

get

{

return new DesignerVerbCollection();

}

Thanks

Hi, Loftty

To add context menu itemsto the right-click short-cut menu at design-time, you should add designer verbs to the designer, you cancheck this document for a sample:

Designer Verbs Class.

set Control.ContextMenu property?

I have tried that but because I useIDesignerHost to host controls the context menu does not seem to work?

Thanks

sorry, I am not familiar with IDesignerHost. even when the control ContextMenu is set, it's not responding to mouse right click? have you checked the control.ContextMenu property in debug mode? is it reset by the 'IDesignerHost'? maybe you can try to hook up the mouse right click event and show the contextmenu yourself?
