I can't seem to find any information about this. I don't see why it shouldn't be possible.
What I want to do is add an item to the right click menu of a textbox. I don't want to replace it with a menu of my own for various reasons.
This is the first thing I tried; not sure why it doesn't work.
I subclassed the textbox hwnd, and:
hMenu is non-zero, but AppendMenu returns 0 (failed).
Further down the road; WM_COMMAND and WM_MENUCOMMAND isn't firing for anything. I checked putting it in the WndProc for the main form, but it still didn't fire. (the WM_CONTEXTMENU does fire, so I have the right hWnd I think?)
Anyone can help with either of those issues??
Edit: Researching further, I dumped all messages trying to find out what was up; and while I got (for Cut) WM_MENUSELECT, WM_CUT, and WM_COPY, I didn't get anything about a menu option being selected. I'm confused.
