My intention is to dispay a floating menu when user right click on the tab control(it has minimum size and no client area)
My plan was to respond to NM_RCLICK notification for the tab control but the associated hdr structure does have any information about the point at which the mouse was clicked.I need the point at which the mouse was clicked.That's where I intend to display my floating menu.How do I solve this problem.
Or does the parent window of a tab control receive a WM_RBUTTONDOWN when the tab control is right clicked?
Or does it make sence to attempt to respond to WM_NCRBUTTONDOWN for the tab control?

Solution 1

I think you can do it by calling GetCursorPos[^] to get the scrren coordinates of the mouse. You then use ScreenToClient[^] to get that position relative to the Window.

Solution 2

Inside the event handler: request the mouse's coordinates via the Mouse's GetPosition method.
