Context menu in CHTMLView-based application

My application based on CHTMLView class, and I need to create my own context menu instead of default context menu for this view. I am trying to implement it in WM_CONTEXTMENU handler, but application does not reach this point.

You need to implement the IDocHostUIHandler interface. See

This example explains the way to disable default menu. But I don't understand how to implement my own menu.

You can use CMenu::TrackPopupMenu to show your menu.

I do not understand where CMenu standard procedure must be called.

In the CCustomControlSite::XDocHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu function (custsite.cpp).

Is it possible to create my own context menu directly in CHTMLView, without implementation IDocHostUIHandler ?

But I am looking for a solution without IDocHostUIHandler implementation.

If current implementation allows, it is possible to override default menu in CHTMLView-based application using PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) :

if ( pMsg->message == WM_RBUTTONUP )
{
POINT pt = pMsg->pt;
CWnd::ScreenToClient(&pt);
ShowMyContextMenu(pt);
return true;
}
