I tried in that way. by doing so. am able to add only the string menu item to the mastercam main menu.. but not able to add popupmenu. how to add popupmenu. i created a popupmenu in resource file with ID IDR_MENU1.

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

You can popup your menu,

 

CMenu YourMenu;

///load a menu from resource ,etc

YourMenu.TrackPopupMenu( TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_LEFTBUTTON, pos.x, pos.y, get_MainFrame());

 

and read/process messages around here.

code:

---

static BOOL AppPreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)

{

AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState())

 

if(pMsg->message==WM_COMMAND&&(UINT)pMsg->wParam==IDR_MENU1_ITEM1)

{

 

// do something;

return true;

}

 

return theApp.PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}

Thank you.. for giving me details.

Is there any other method to add popupmenu by using insetthirdpartymenu() mastercam function itself.

Hi Takashi,

I tried using above mentioned method in MastercamX3. But to register AppPreTranslateMessage() Function By a callback function is not avialble in the new version of mastercamX3 SDK. how to Register AppPreTranslateMessage() function..

[Takashi Sato from Ai Solutions.]

ok.

how about this method.

 

1, add a dummy menu by using insetthirdpartymenu()

2, get a menu from the main window and remove it by using GetSubMenu()and RemoveMenu()

3, popup your menu (pMenu->TrackPopupMenu())

 

 

I dont have X3 and the sdk yet,

but there should be a function to register AppPreTranslateMessage() function..

 

if it does not exist, try subclassing the main window..
