wxTextCtrl custom popup menu items Topic is solved

[Forest]

When you right-click on wxTextCtrl menu with Copy, Paste, etc appears.
How can I add custom items to that menu?

I don't think you can. At least not with wxWidgets methods, this popup is native behavior of the control.

Hi, here is a sample:

Code: Select all

...
class MyTextCtrl : public wxTextCtrl
{
public:
      MyTextCtrl(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxString& value = "",
                 const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize,
                 long style = 0, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator,
                 const wxString& name = wxTextCtrlNameStr)
    : wxTextCtrl(parent, id, value, pos, size, style, validator, name) {}
protected:
    void OnContextMenu(wxContextMenuEvent& event);

    DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE()
};

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE(MyTextCtrl, wxTextCtrl)
    EVT_CONTEXT_MENU(MyTextCtrl::OnContextMenu)
END_EVENT_TABLE()

void MyTextCtrl::OnContextMenu(wxContextMenuEvent& event)
{
        wxMenu* menu = new wxMenu;
        // Some standard items
        menu->Append(wxID_UNDO, _("&Undo"));
        menu->Append(wxID_REDO, _("&Redo"));
        menu->AppendSeparator();
        menu->Append(wxID_CUT, _("Cu&t"));
        menu->Append(wxID_COPY, _("&Copy"));
        menu->Append(wxID_PASTE, _("&Paste"));
        menu->Append(wxID_CLEAR, _("&Delete"));
        menu->AppendSeparator();
        menu->Append(wxID_SELECTALL, _("Select &All"));

        // Add any custom items here

        PopupMenu(menu);
}
...
