  • Article

[DoContextMenuPopup is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2003.]

Creates and displays a shortcut menu, tracks the selection of items on that menu, and invokes a chosen command.

Syntax

HRESULT DoContextMenuPopup(
  [in] IUnknown *punkContextMenu,
  [in] UINT     fFlags,
  [in] POINT    pt
);

Parameters

[in] punkContextMenu

Type: IUnknown*

A pointer to the shortcut menu's IUnknown implementation.

[in] fFlags

Type: UINT

Optional flags specifying how the shortcut menu can be changed. This parameter can be set to any combination of the following values. The remaining bits of the low-order word are reserved by the system. The high-order word can be used for context-specific communications. The CMF_RESERVED value can be used to mask out the low-order word.

CMF_NORMAL (0x00000000)

0x00000000. Indicates normal operation. A shortcut menu extension, namespace extension, or drag-and-drop handler can add all menu items.

CMF_DEFAULTONLY (0x00000001)

0x00000001. This flag is set when the user is activating the default action, typically by double-clicking. This flag provides a hint for the shortcut menu extension to add nothing if it does not modify the default item in the menu. A shortcut menu extension or drag-and-drop handler should not add any menu items if this value is specified. A namespace extension should add only the default item (if any).

CMF_VERBSONLY (0x00000002)

0x00000002. This flag is set if the shortcut menu is for a shortcut object. Shortcut menu handlers should ignore this value.

CMF_EXPLORE (0x00000004)

0x00000004. This flag is set when the Windows Explorer tree window is present.

CMF_NOVERBS (0x00000008)

0x00000008. This flag is set for items displayed in the Send To menu. Shortcut menu handlers should ignore this value.

CMF_CANRENAME (0x00000010)

0x00000010. This flag is set if the calling application supports renaming of items. A shortcut menu extension or drag-and-drop handler should ignore this flag. A namespace extension should add a rename item to the menu if applicable.

CMF_NODEFAULT (0x00000020)

0x00000020. This flag is set if no item in the menu has been set as the default. A drag-and-drop handler should ignore this flag. A namespace extension should not set any of the menu items to the default.

CMF_INCLUDESTATIC (0x00000040)

This value is not available.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: 0x00000040. This flag is set when a static menu is being constructed. Only the browser should use this flag. All other shortcut menu extensions should ignore this flag.

CMF_ITEMMENU (0x00000080)

0x00000080. This flag is set when the calling application is invoking a context menu on an item in the view (as opposed to the background of the view).

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_EXTENDEDVERBS (0x00000100)

0x00000100. This flag is set when the calling application wants extended verbs. Normal verbs are displayed when the user right-clicks an object. To display extended verbs, the user must right-click while pressing the SHIFT key.

CMF_DISABLEDVERBS (0x00000200)

0x00000200. This flag is set when the calling application intends to invoke verbs that are otherwise disabled, such as legacy menus.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_ASYNCVERBSTATE (0x00000400)

0x00000400. This flag is set if the verb state can be evaluated asynchronously.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_OPTIMIZEFORINVOKE (0x00000800)

0x00000800. Informs context menu handlers that do not support the invocation of a verb through a canonical verb name to bypass that processing in their IContextMenu::QueryContextMenu implementation.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_SYNCCASCADEMENU (0x00001000)

0x00001000.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_DONOTPICKDEFAULT (0x00002000)

0x00001000. When no verb is explicitly specified, do not use a default verb in its place.

Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: This value is not available.

CMF_RESERVED (0xffff0000)

0xffff0000. This flag is a bitmask that specifies all bits that should not be used. This is to be used only as a mask. Do not pass this as a parameter value.

[in] pt

Type: POINT

Location where you want the shortcut menu to appear. This point specifies the location of the menu's upper left corner in screen coordinates.

Return value
