FAQ1078C.txt Popup menu, which object invoked it?
Category :VCL
Platform :All
Product :C++Builder 1.x
Question:
How can the event handler of a popup menu item determine which
component was right-clicked upon to activate that menu?
Answer:
Use the TPopupMenu::PopupComponent property to determine what
control the menu was activated for.
void __fastcall TForm1.PopupItem1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Label1->Caption = PopupMenu1->PopupComponent->ClassName();
}
The form's ActiveControl property can also be used, however,
the active control may not necessarily be the control that
caused the popup menu to appear.
