The popup menu that STC uses is created deep inside Scintilla and is not 
exposed to the application.  You'll need to catch the EVT_CONTEXT_MENU 
event yourself, and create and show your own popup menu with all the 
items on it.  For the items on the default context menu your handlers 
can just call the STC methods for those actions.
