why menus from tray notification icons don't go away

  • 아티클

I was looking at the documentation for TrackPopupMenuEx() today and saw this in the remarks section.  This, I suspect, explains a lot of frustration I have experienced in the past.

To display a context menu for a notification icon, the current window must be the foreground window before the application calls TrackPopupMenu or TrackPopupMenuEx. Otherwise, the menu will not disappear when the user clicks outside of the menu or the window that created the menu (if it is visible).

So, if you own an app that does this, please fix it.  The World and I thank you for it.

    So if even seasoned MS developers get caught by this one, I guess it means I'm not as stupid as I once thouth I was! :-D

    I was actually consulting the documentation for something unrelated when I saw this and felt adequate attention had not been brought to it.
