Connecting a Pop-up Menu to Your Application

To connect a pop-up menu to your application

1. Add a message handler for WM_CONTEXTMENU (for example). For more information, see Mapping Messages to Functions.

2. Add the following code to the message handler:

      CMenu menu;
      VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1));
      CMenu* pPopup = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
      ASSERT(pPopup != NULL);
      pPopup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, AfxGetMainWnd());
   

   Note

   The CPoint passed by the message handler is in screen coordinates.
