I have a basic Powershell form with a textbox. When I right-click on the textbox, a standard menu appears with copy, cut, paste etc...
My goal is to add a "clear log" option, that clears current textbox content. How can I add this option to right-click menu instead of doing/drawing an actual separate button?
Option will be enabled for this form only, I am not looking a general mouse-right-click solution from registry
To be able to show a ContextMenuStrip for a TextBox first you should set ShortcutsEnabled property of the TextBox to false, then assign a ContextMenuStrip to its ContextMenuStrip property like this:
$form1= New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$textBox1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$contextMenuStrip1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip
$contextMenuStrip1.Items.Add("Item 1")
$contextMenuStrip1.Items.Add("Item 2")
$textBox1.ShortcutsEnabled = $false
$textBox1.ContextMenuStrip = $contextMenuStrip1
$form1.Text="Context Menu for TextBox"
$form1.Controls.Add($textBox1)
$form1.ShowDialog()
$contextMenuStrip1.Items.Add when running the script, in CMD I can see all item parameter. Do you know how to "silent" it?
| Out-Null to suppress the output.
ContextMenu to use ContexMenuStrip to no avail, but now I can.add [void] the start of $contextMenuStrip1.Items.Add
like so:
[void]$contextMenuStrip1.Items.Add($item)
