Hello, I’m AiRon, an automated tech support bot :robot:
While you wait for one of our customer support representatives, I can help you with your question.


To disable the default context menu in PDFViewCtrl for a WinForms application, you can handle the MouseDown event and prevent the context menu from appearing based on your specific conditions.

Some things you can try:

  • Attach an event handler to the MouseDown event of the PDFViewCtrl.

  • Within the event handler, check if the right mouse button was clicked.

  • If it was a right-click, suppress the context menu by setting the appropriate flags or returning from the function without invoking the default behavior.



Here are some resources that might help you:


Hopefully, this helps you solve your problem while you wait for a human to get back to you.

Hello,

This is discussed in the following forum post: Disable Context Menu in PDFViewWPF

In summary, you can turn off the default context menu by calling ToolManager.SuppressContextMenu = true;
I suggest searching for this relevant code within the PDFViewWPFTools example as this is documented within the tutorial.

Is PDFTron’s ToolManager supported in WinForms? I’m having trouble adding it to my application. Can someone provide the DLL needed for integration?

You won’t be able to do this as easily with WinForms since it expects a PDFViewWPF view object.

A solution that should work for both WinForms and WPF is overriding the OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs) event. The PDFViewCtrl exposes the ability to control what happens when a user right clicks which would allow you to disable what is showed to a user:

We have some discussion on this for one of our older community posts:
