Disable default context menu

[DiverDan]

I've just finished some very nice looking owner drawn menus and context menus. The context menus are displayed only in designated TextBoxes (user input boxes) that I specified at design time. When I ran the program all worked very well except that...the VB default context menu still worked in the non designated TextBoxes. How can I stop the default context menu in these boxes and still maintain my owner drawn context menus?

Thanks

When you assign your context menu to the textbox it should override the default one.

Hi Robby,

Yes, it does very well. However, it is the other (non-designated)textboxes that I would like to prevent the default context menu from displaying. In other words prevent any and all context menus from poping up over specific textboxes.

You can override the default contextmenu by setting the ContextMenu property to a new, blank instance of the ContextMenu class:

TextBox1.ContextMenu = New ContextMenu()
