Sergey,
Would you have any idea on how to get a popupmenu to show when the rve vertical scrollbar is right clicked? I've looked all over and tried things and nothing works. Just wondered if you had any ideas.
Thanks

Re: Scrollbar Popup Menu
AFAIK, it can be implemented by handling WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN message in rve. But TRichView does not process this message, so it can be done only in an inherited component.
Or you can hide a scrollbar (VScrollVisible = False) and use your own external scrollbar instead.

Re: Scrollbar Popup Menu
Hi Sergey,
Yes, WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN (along with a HitTest check) works. My app already lets me choose between using a native scrollbar or an external one. Adding a popup to the external one is easy, but I was stumped with how to add it to the native scrollbar.
Here's what I did in case someone else wants to try it. I just subclassed the rve so I didn't have to make a new component:
Works great and is just what I was after. Thanks again.

private
procedure WMNCRButtonDown(var Msg : TWMNCRButtonDown); message WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN;
end;

procedure TRichViewEdit.WMNCRButtonDown(var Msg : TWMNCRButtonDown);
begin
if Form1.rve.VScrollVisible then
if (Msg.HitTest = HTVSCROLL) then
begin
Form1.PopupMenu1.Popup( Mouse.CursorPos.X,Mouse.CursorPos.Y );
end;
if Form1.rve.HScrollVisible then
if (Msg.HitTest = HTHSCROLL) then
begin
Form1.PopupMenu1.Popup( Mouse.CursorPos.X,Mouse.CursorPos.Y );
end;
end;

Re: Scrollbar Popup Menu
Hi Sergey,
Probably no one cares about this but I thought I'd post a follow up. While subclassing the TRichViewEdit let me show a popupmenu when right-clicking the rve scrollbar, it was causing some unintended problems elsewhere in my app. It would work OK in a simple project, but my project is not a simple one.
So I did this instead. Since the rve sends the WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN out when its scrollbar is clicked, I handled that message in an appication events message event instead of the rve itself.
This now works without subclassing or making a new component. Maybe it will help someone else wanting to do this.

Code: Select all
procedure TForm1.ApplicationEvents1Message(var Msg: tagMSG;
var Handled: Boolean);
var
Pt: TPoint;
r: TRect;
begin
//Processing WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN this way let me put a popupmenu on the native OS scrollbar.
//Panel7 is the rve parent component
Pt := Panel7.ScreenToClient( Mouse.CursorPos );
r := Panel7.ClientRect;
if Msg.message = WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN then
begin
r := Panel7.ClientRect;
//Restrict this to just the vertical scrollbar:
r.Left := r.Right - GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYVSCROLL );
if PtInRect( r, Pt ) then
begin
//ReleaseCapture; //So far, not needed...
//Only show the scroll popup if the native OS scrollbar is visible:
if Form1.rve.VScrollVisible then
begin
//Use if VScrollMax > 0 here if you only want to show the popup
//if it is active.
ScrollPopup.Popup( Mouse.CursorPos.X,Mouse.CursorPos.Y );
end;
//The key to making this work: Shut off this message:
Handled := true;
end;
end;
