 |
|
| If you right click anywhere on the Windows desktop, you will have a popup showing a few default menu and submenu. For example, you might see a properties, open, printto, ...etc. My question is: How can I get rid of all those default menu and submenu and create my own menu and submenu? I want to create a icon and place it on the windows desktop. When I right click this desktop, it should shows my personalize menu, and each menu is associate with an action that I will assign to it. For example, I will have a menu call "Internet Explorer" and this will launch the Microsoft IE. |

make rt. click a pass through hotkey (~) and use a check to see if the active window is "Program Manager" then show the menu. this should do it.

That's a good idea. At first, I tried that but had trouble with dismissing the default menu because sometimes it appears on mouse-down, and sometimes on mouse-up. Therefore, I tried another approach.

It's good that you mentioned this because there was an older topic that can benefit too. Here is a working example script for Windows XP (and probably 2k/NT). You can't use it on Win9x since there is no support for mouse hotkeys.
| Code: | Menu, MySubmenu, Add, SubItem1, MenuHandler
Menu, MySubmenu, Add, SubItem2, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item1, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Item2, MenuHandler
Menu, MyMenu, Add ; Separator line.
Menu, MyMenu, Add, My Submenu, :MySubmenu
Menu, MyMenu, Add, Launch Browser, LaunchBrowser
return
RButton::
MouseGetPos, , , WindowUnderMouse
WinGetClass, ClassUnderMouse, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%
if ClassUnderMouse <> WorkerW
{
if ClassUnderMouse <> Progman ; No desktop, so make RButton behave normally.
{
MouseClick, right, , , , , D
Loop
{
Sleep, 10
GetKeyState, RButtonState, RButton, P
if RButtonState = U ; button has been released
break
}
MouseClick, right, , , , , U
return
}
}
; Otherwise, the user has clicked on the desktop, so do a custom action.
Menu, MyMenu, Show
return
MenuHandler:
MsgBox You selected %A_ThisMenuItem% from menu %A_ThisMenu%.
return
LaunchBrowser:
Run, http://www.google.com
return |
Edit: fixed tabbing of code.

Hi Chris,
Thank you so much for the workable script. It is exactly what I wanted to accomplish. Rajat, thanks for the reply (When will we see more cool script from you again?). |
