Hi, I'd like to show a menu when the user right-click on a wxTreeCtrl item. Thank you for any help.

You should subclass the wxTreeCtrl and Implement a MouseEvent.

I mostly derive from wxTreeItemData a DataBase Class for my Tree,
and also give this class a virtual Method called makeMenu(wxMenu& menu).
So that I can define in every Nodeclass my own Menu.

There are 2 events you can handle:
EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK and EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU.

Hi thanks for your help.


The problem I have now is that I'd like to know which item I right clicked so when I press example "ACTIVATE" in the menu that pops up, the action is taken for the item that was right clicked.


event.GetItem() returns a wxTreeItemData item right? How can I convert this item into a MyTreeItemData class object?

MyTreeItemData* pitemdata = (MyTreeItemData*)this->GetItemData(event.GetItem());

Sounds good I'll try this out thanks!
