Working with Visio 2003 Page & Shape context (popup) menus in C#

[dinesh]

we are using Visio 2003 as a drawing control in a C# project and are able to
manipulate or use various Visio built-in menus but cannot change the context
(right-click popup) menu for a drawing page or shape. How do we access this
menu and remove some of its menu items and add our own menu items. Not able
to determine what menu it is and when we can access it (before displaying).
Any VBA sample code would also be helpful.

You face two issues if my memory is correct. a.) vba code in a document is
not accessible when the document is accessed via a drawing control. So you'll
have to write your code in c#. b.) the context menu's can be altered if you
don't want everything that is there (as I remember if you take over the right
mouse click event) then you get to write your own dialogs.

with this, if possible a piece of code.

place.

The next step is to use a marker event (via addadvise) to call your routine.
There are examples of how you might create it in the visio sdk.

unfortunately, I don't write in any of the c versions (c, c#, c++). There are
examples of how to add action items to a shape and add event handlers for
marker events in the sdk.
