How do I get rid of The Cut,Copy,Paste Menu in Derma VGUIs?

I have to get rid of this (because I need my own menu):

It’s neither defined in the used DTextEntry nor in any Derma code. Overriding VGUIOnMousePressed or GUIOnMousePressed didn’t help. Same for panel:RequestFocus() so far in the above hooks.

#2

So nobody has a clue, where the copy&paste right-click menu is defined?
I searched every single lua file of GMod including Derma and did not find any hints concerning Copy,Paste or Cut.

#3

It’s almost certainly defined in the engine, since, as far as I know, there are no bindings to copy, cut or paste.

Except for http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=G.SetClipboardText

#4

There are. At least for Copy.
SetClipboardText

Is there some (hacky) workaround making the menu-popup disappear (when it forms)? I just have to get rid of it. That’s all.

#5

this is predefined in vgui, as far as i know you can’t override this (without creating your own gui system without using vgui)

#6

It is not VGUI, since if you do this on the console, you get a completely different menu.
It’s for sure a DermaMenu but seems to be created in the engine.

So the only solution would be some hacky code, which closes this vgui. Oh dear. I already tried RequestFocus on a different panel but it did not work. Same for a derma-hook concerning closing Derma Menus. But maybe I called it too early. I’ll try this later.

#7

MUST you have this removed?
I mean really…

#8

Yes he does.

#9

The Problem with this Menu is, it allows Cut and Paste. And for my project, Copy should be the only option allowed. Also, I want to add other features to the Menu. That’s why I need it to be removed.

#10

The DTExtEntry actually uses the C++ one so no you cant change that!

#11

-snip- Disregard that I suck cox.

#12

How would breaking every menu except that one help?
It’s defined in C++, which doesn’t use Lua helper functions.

#13

[lua]for key, func in pairs( _G ) do
if ( func != Msg ) then
_G[ key ] = function(…)
Msg( “TEMPORARY DERMA FIX” )
end
end
end[/lua]

Seems to work fine for me.

Isnt it possible? i mean… i can remeber reading somewhere about onrightclick?

#15

It may not be defined in DTextEntry, but perhaps it’s defined in whatever DTextEntry inherits from?

Edit: Err, on second thought, nevermind. It inherits from TextEntry (which is defined in the game itself)

#16

I, too, thought this was possible.

#17

You could try to create the text entry as well as possible. A lot of effort for such a small thing though :confused:
