Please Help IE8: The shortcut menu for the ActiveX control does not display.
In Windows Server 2008, when you open a Web page that contains an ActiveX control by using IE 8/7, the shortcut menu (Customized Context Menu that should come after right click) for the ActiveX control does not display. Same problem had happenedin XP Sp2 also with IE6 SP1 and then Microsoft had released a Hotfix KB892049 for that.This problem occurs because Internet Explorer does not forward calls to the ActiveX control by using the IDocHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu method.Here mshtml.dll is not calling our implementation forXDocHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu() that we have implemented in our class and instead is showing some default Menus only.Is some hot fix or workaround available for IE8/7 on Windows Server 2008 also?Any suggestion to solve this problem would be of great help.Thanks,Nipun
