Hi all,
here, I learned how to add a context menu.

I am having a hard time figuring out how to retrieve the value that was right-clicked.

How would I figure out which instance of the form was right-clicked?
How would I figure out which value was right-clicked? (there are multiple columns)
How would I find the Element associated with the value so I could check whether it's a hex or a decimal value?

Thank you!

the menuitem has an OnClick handler. When executed the first parameter is the sender, which the menuitem itself

Usually menuitems belong to the form, so sender.Owner will get you the to get the form (structure dissect) If for some reason it doesn't, get the parent until the base, then get the Menu from there (which is the popupmenu) and then find the parent on that one to the mainform. But try the owner first

(tip: When testing click handlers, assign the received parameters as global lua variables, so you can inspect them with lua engine later)

Then when you have the structform you can enum the Columns (0 to structform.ColumnCount-1)

Each column has a property named "Focused" which is the one currently active. Rightclicking the list makes a column focused

then to get the element you should have been able to use structform.getSelectedStructElement() but that seems to be broken for me atm (might be a 7.6 beta issue, or always broken. I got to check it out)

So since that's not an option you'll have to use structform.tvStructureView.Selected.Index to get the current index and cross reference that index with the structform.MainStruct . Note that you should check the .Level property of the selected entry, as the index is relative to the parent node and follow pointers(nodes with children) accordingly

Thank you Dark Byte!

Below is the code so far. Output:

i think when you create the menuitem you use the menu as owner instead of mainform so try sender.owner.owner

That did the trick!

I have a new problem.
The code works when I right-click a top level element.
However, I seem to get back something completely wrong when I right-click on an element that belongs to a child structure.
Probably this is the reason why:

[Dark Byte]

You'd have to go up to the node parent and check it's .data property, convert it to a class (which will be a structure itself) and then use the relative index of the selected node to get the structure element index

it is fixed in the next version and supports multiselect

Ok, thanks!
I will wait for the next release; it will be far better than what I could cook up
Much appreciated!
