Popup Menu

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a popup menu, that doesn't do anthing fancy at all, which is having two problems:
The application is derived from the Outlook GUI example.  The popup menu appears in the frame with the ListView.  Functionally, when a user right clicks on a list item, the menu should pop-up.
1. The toolbar icons don't show up.  In my Mainframe class's OnCreate method, I am calling InstallCoolMenus and passing in the resource ID for the popup menu.  
2. The menu doesn't seem to respond to Update UI messages, e.g., certain items in the "main" menu are greyed out, but in the popup, they are not.
Maybe I'm missing something very simple, please let me know.  If you know of an example I can work with, please let me know.

Thanks!

	Got it. In my TrackPopupMenu method call, I was passing in this instead of the active view: Was: pop->TrackPopupMenuEx( TPM_LEFTALIGN \| TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, this, NULL ); Now: pop->TrackPopupMenuEx( TPM_LEFTALIGN \| TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, AfxGetMainWnd()->GetActiveWindow(), NULL );
