How to initiate Right Click Menu???

[MattH_Work]

Is it possible to initiate the relevant Right Click Menu ( as in the one you would get by RMB'ing within the browser ) by passing a Feature name to the browser

Cheers

Each menu has different internal name.

If you know which one you need, you could bring them up.

HI @MattH_Work 

I was working through something similar a while back on these threads:

This one deals with the radial menu, but shows how to make it context driven ( only show parts list option if the object clicked on is a parts list) :

This thread has some discussion of how this works as well:

Here are direct links to the working example Visual Studio projects in zip files from those threads:

I hope this helps.

Not looking to change any menus, just display them for the end user to interact with.

Psuedo Code

If oFeature.Type = "Extrude" then Show "Extrude" menu

If oFeature.Type = "Revolve" then Show "Revolve" menu

But as there are countless types of feature, I'm looking for a catch all

Show "oFeature.Type" menu

I just want to pass the name of the feature or type of feature, and get the relevant RMB menu

The same applies to double clicking a feature in the normal Inventor model browser, I want to replicate that in my browser

Hi @MattH_Work 

Regardless of adding to the menu or not, I think you would use the same methods illustrated in the example addins I posted, to interact with the OnSelectEvent to determine what has been clicked on, in combination with the OnLinearMarkingMenu event and/or the OnRadialMarkingMenu event to get the command controls of those menus.

So to right click on a feature in the browser and get the contents of the linear marking menu, I would do something like this:

        Private Sub Events_OnLinearMarkingMenu(ByVal SelectedEntities As Inventor.ObjectsEnumerator,
                                               ByVal SelectionDevice As Inventor.SelectionDeviceEnum,
                                               ByVal LinearMenu As CommandControls,
                                               ByVal AdditionalInfo As Inventor.NameValueMap)

            Dim sMsg As String = Nothing
            For Each oControl As CommandControl In LinearMenu
                sMsg = oControl.DisplayName & vbLf & sMsg
            Next

            MsgBox(sMsg)

        End Sub

which when right clicking on an Extrude feature, would result in something like this:

However, the "my browser" part of your statement throws me a bit. 

Are you building a custom browser?

If so, is the right click context menu empty by default when you click on a feature in that custom browser? 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
