Paul, when i add a Menu shortcut for an action, the controls stop receiving that
cobination of keys, for example, if i have a dialog with a menu with the shortcut CTRL+C,
the controls dont receive that combination of keys...
Why? Well, wheat i want is to capture the CTRL+C and do some actions on Egrid32 when
it is focused, but still be able to use CTRL+C in texboxes. But if add that shortcut, the textboxes
dont receive CTRL+C anymore.
Do you know a work around for this?
Is it because ctrl-c is a standard Windows key command for Copy ?
Yes, thats the point. When i add CTRL+C as a menu shortcut,
i cant use CTRL+C to copy text from the textboxes.
I want to process CTRL+C only as a dialog command, not to
eliminate from ALL the controls.
Hi Elias,
I am not 100% sure that I understand what the problem is. If a TextBox has focus then you should be able to use the CTRL+C accelerator to copy text. If you choose your menu item for copy and the TextBox has focus then you will have to handle the copy yourself. In the case of a TextBox it is easy - you simply need to send a WM_COPY to the TextBox. See this example:
Function FORM1_WM_COMMAND ( _
hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form
hWndControl As Dword, _ ' handle of Control
wNotifyCode As Long, _ ' notification code
wID As Long _ ' item, control, or accelerator identifer
) As Long
Local zClassName As Asciiz * 100
Select Case wID
Case IDC_FORM1_MNUCOPY
GetClassName GetFocus, zClassName, SizeOf(zClassName)
If UCase$(zClassName) = "EDIT" Then
SendMessage GetFocus, %WM_COPY, 0, 0
End If
End Select
End Function
So, I guess you could also check for the classname for your EGrid and then forward an applicable "copy" EGrid message to your EGRid control.
I hope this answers and solves your problem.
Yes. That worked. Thanx paul. :)
