Sergey,

I don't think this example helps with what I am trying to do. Briefly. I want to create a image class, let me call it ImageA. I will create a context menu for this that includes two items: Copy and Properties. I add code to the class to handle these two items: Copy - copy the image to the clipboard. Properties - display information about the image. This is functionality that I want to be inherited by derived classes.

So, then, I derive two classes from the ImageA class. Call them ImageB and ImageC. I want these classes to have context menus too. Each should include the Copy and Properties items. But each will include other items that are specific to the new classes.

I would like to be able to inherit the context menus from ImageA. I know that I will inherit the methods that perform the functionality of the menu items, but as far as I can see, ImageB and ImageC must explicitly include the Copy and Properties menu items in the context menus they create.

A code fragment of the way I handle this is below. I have two methods: The RightClick event handler, and ShortCutMenuAdd() to create and execute the context menu:

RightClick method:

Selected = 0
Selected = THIS.ShortcutMenuAdd()
DO CASE
	CASE Selected = 1
		THIS.Copytoclipboard()
	CASE Selected = 3					&& user selected "Disassociate from wound"
		REPLACE WOUNDID WITH 0
		TABLEUPDATE()
		SELECT(nOldWorkArea)

	CASE Selected = 5
		DO FORM PictureProperties WITH THIS.nImageid
		
ENDCASE

ShortcutMenuAdd():

Result = 0
DEFINE POPUP mnuShortCut SHORTCUT RELATIVE FROM MROW(),MCOL()
DEFINE BAR 1 OF mnuShortCut PROMPT "\<Copy"
DEFINE BAR 2 OF mnuShortCut PROMPT "\-"
DEFINE BAR 3 OF mnuShortCut  PROMPT "\<Disassociate from wound"
DEFINE BAR 4 OF mnuShortCut PROMPT "\-"
DEFINE BAR 5 OF mnuShortCut  PROMPT "\<Properties"
ON SELECTION BAR 1 OF mnuShortCut ;
	STORE 1 TO Result
ON SELECTION BAR 3 OF mnuShortCut  ;
	STORE 3 TO Result
ON SELECTION BAR 5 OF mnuShortCut  ;
	STORE 5 TO Result
ACTIVATE POPUP mnuShortCut 

RETURN Result

Note that the CopyToClipboard() method is in the parent class, ImageA.

Any thoughts on out to inherit context menus from parent classes?
