How to get rid of default context menu

[Guest]

I am developing a custom text box and with the kind help from here I added some additional features
But I cannot get rid of the right-click menu from .NET. I got rid of it by overriding WndProc and trapping WM_LBUTTONUP, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it in .NET only, without using Win32 SDK

Thank you

A relatively simple way is to just assign the TextBox a ContextMenu object
that does not have any items. For example:
textBox1.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

Another way, along the lines of what you were doing before, is to just "eat"
the WM_CONTEXTMENU message:

private const int WM_CONTEXTMENU = 0x007B;

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
switch (m.Msg)
{
case WM_CONTEXTMENU:
{
return;
}
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}

I don't think so. You can assing a contextmenu to the control's
'ContextMenu' property, or you can "eat" 'WM_CONTEXTMENU'.
