Placing a Textbox within a Context Menu

[royster]

Hi
Is it possible to add a Textbox to a context menu so that when I activate the menu through a mouse right click event, I can enter a value into the textbox, and pass it back to the form?

Ideally I would like it to display a right click menu similar to the one seen in the MS Access datasheet right click menu.

Thanks

I think the only way you could do that is by making a form that looks like your menu and showing that on right click instead of a normal context menu.

I was affraid that that was going to be the answer. It just means that I have to create a whole new class for this action.

Well , If I were you , I would definitely go for the suggestion Edneeis mentioned . Otherwise , go for subclassing . I imagine it needs lots of work . I dunno if I'm correct here or not but you can try to use some API Function that set a textbox on a menuitem and depend on SendMessage API . Never done such this thing before

I use the 3rd party DevComponents DotNetbar suite, and you can add a textbox or a combo to their context menu's. It is written in c# so obvously it can be done in .net. Don't know how though sorry.
