Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Popup event to determine whether MenuItem objects that provide support for cut, copy, and delete operations are enabled before the menu they are displayed in is shown. The example determines if textBox1, a TextBox control on the form, is enabled, has input focus, and has text selected before enabling the MenuItem objects. This example requires that three MenuItem objects are created named menuCut, menuCopy, and menuDelete have been created.
private:
void PopupMyMenu( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
if ( textBox1->Enabled == false || textBox1->Focused == false || textBox1->SelectedText->Length == 0 )
{
menuCut->Enabled = false;
menuCopy->Enabled = false;
menuDelete->Enabled = false;
}
else
{
menuCut->Enabled = true;
menuCopy->Enabled = true;
menuDelete->Enabled = true;
}
}
private void PopupMyMenu(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.Enabled == false || textBox1.Focused == false ||
textBox1.SelectedText.Length == 0)
{
menuCut.Enabled = false;
menuCopy.Enabled = false;
menuDelete.Enabled = false;
}
else
{
menuCut.Enabled = true;
menuCopy.Enabled = true;
menuDelete.Enabled = true;
}
}
Private Sub PopupMyMenu(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles menuEdit.Popup
If textBox1.Enabled = False OrElse textBox1.Focused = False OrElse textBox1.SelectedText.Length = 0 Then
menuCut.Enabled = False
menuCopy.Enabled = False
menuDelete.Enabled = False
Else
menuCut.Enabled = True
menuCopy.Enabled = True
menuDelete.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
Remarks
This event only occurs when a menu item has submenu items to display. You can use this event handler to add, remove, enable, disable, check, or uncheck menu items based on the state of your application before they are displayed.
