Also, I see two different paths on the right click. One where the cell is focused and one where it is not and a right click occurs in the cell.

I see the path when the right click occurs and the cell is not focused. But, I dont want this.

So, how can I:
1) Right click on the cell and make it focused.
2) Then using one path of code, override the edit context menu for the cell when it is focused.

Thanks,

If you want to implement custom context menus from scratch, you should override the following virtual method of the CExtPropertyGridCtrl class:

virtual void OnPgcContextMenuTrack(
      CWnd * pWndHit,
      CPoint ptScreen,
      CExtGridHitTestInfo * pHtInfo, // can be NULL
      CExtPropertyItem * pPropertyItem, // can be NULL
      CExtPropertyGridWnd * pPGW // can be NULL
      );

Your method should construct and track your popup menu and not invoke parent class method.

But if you want to reconstruct context menus created by default, you should override the following virtual method of the CExtPropertyGridCtrl class:

 virtual bool OnPgcContextMenuReconstruct(
       CExtPopupMenuWnd * pPopup,
       CWnd * pWndHit,
       CPoint ptScreen,
       CExtGridHitTestInfo * pHtInfo, // can be NULL
       CExtPropertyItem * pPropertyItem, // can be NULL
       CExtPropertyGridWnd * pPGW // can be NULL
       );

The pPopup menu is constructed and contains default context menu items. You should modify your menu and return true if the menu has been successfuly initialized. If your method returns false, the pPopup menu will not be displayed.
