console right-click menu
in [Win32 Kernel]
|
From: qfel on 5 Aug 2007 05:54 When I write simple console app, there is no reaction when I click right mouse button. When I start cmd.exe, it displays simple menu, when I start powershell.exe, it just pastes from clipboard on right-click. So I thought mouse menu and selection support is done by console shell that starts the console (when I start cmd from within powershell, it still preserves powershel behaviour), although when I kill powershell leaving cmd running alone, nothing changes. How is it implemented?

How is it implemented? You need to get input events using ReadConsoleInput and process the mouse records looking for right button press events. -- - Gary Chanson (Windows SDK MVP) - Abolish Public Schools

If I run app like this from cmd.exe, it does not get any mouse input, but some (not all) keyboard input can be read - looks like cmd has some special way of handling mouse, since ReadConsoleInput seems to return input to whoever calls it first.

Turn off QuickEdit for that console window. -- - Gary Chanson (Windows SDK MVP) - Abolish Public Schools

How is it implemented? I think the behaviour depends on the console settings as 'QuickEdit' and 'InsertMode'. They can be changed from code by some undocumented fuctions. catch22.net shows how: http://www.catch22.net/source/files/setconsoleinfo.c Greetings from Germany Uwe
