Mouse click notifications for Scroll Bars...

[DSSavant]

Not a major request but it would be nice...

Currently the SDK gives notification messages for when the mouse is clicked in different areas of the viewer. This is great. One of the only places it does not give us a notification is in the scroll bars. The Context Menu that is displayed in the scroll bar area is, from what I can tell, somewhat standard Windows stuff. I would like to override this and display my own menu. Why you ask? Because my product manager likes being different. Seriously, we use Infragistics controls and their menus are a bit different than the standard windows.

Hi, DSSavant

I understand you. But no way in current realization for this.
This feature will be added into the new version V3.

Best
Regards.

FWIW, please do not hold up V3.0 for this feature. This is "optional" in my book.

Thanks again!

What is the status of this? Has the ability to customize the context menu made it to production?

Hi DSSavant.

Sorry for big delay with answer. This feature was added long time ago. You already are able to catch the R-Click notification over the scrollbars by:

Code: Select all

pdfCtl.SetProperty(name + "Notifications.Mouse.Filter", -1);
....
....
youreventhandler OnEvent(type, name, dataIn, dataOut, flags)
{
   if (type == PXCVA_OnNamedNotify)
   {
         if (name == "Notifications.Mouse")
         {
               int msg = 0;
               pdfCtl.GetProperty(name + ".msg", out msg);
               if (msg == WM_RBUTTONDOWN) 
               {
                   string target, targetEx;  
                   pdfCtl.GetProperty(name + ".TargetName", out target);
                   pdfCtl.GetProperty(name + ".TargetNameEx", out targetEx);
                   if (targetEx == "ScrollBar")   
                   {
                        pdfCtl.SetProperty(name + ".Skip", true);

                        // show own context menu here

                        return;
                   }   
              }
         }
    }
}
