MFC C++ Dialog-based right click SubMenu Issue

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

   I'm using the latest Skin framework for MFC C++ VS 2008 in a dialog-based application.  It works great, except for right click submenus.  Instead of showing the menu, it just shows a little button.  This happens on all themes, cjstyles or msstyles.  It happens in a CMenu, TrackPopupMenu call.

What do I do to fix this?

	I have an update to the problem - it only happens on submenus that are not statically defined but added on the fly before showing. I have recreated it in the test Skin Controls app. void CSkinControlsDlg::OnToolbarDropDown(NMHDR* /pNotifyStruct/, LRESULT* /result/ ) { RECT rc; m_wndToolBar.GetItemRect(1, &rc); m_wndToolBar.ClientToScreen(&rc); CMenu menu; menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU_POPUP); UINT startBitFlags = 10000; CMenu tempMenu1Main; tempMenu1Main.CreatePopupMenu(); CMenu* menuLoaded = menu.GetSubMenu(0); for (int y = 0; y < 50; y+=50) { CMenu tempSubMenu1; tempSubMenu1.CreatePopupMenu(); for (int x = 0; x < 50; x=x++) { CString tempStr; tempStr.Format("Item %04X", x+y); tempSubMenu1.AppendMenu(MF_STRING \| MF_ENABLED, (startBitFlags+x+y), "Item"); } tempMenu1Main.InsertMenu(y/50, MF_BYPOSITION \| MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)tempSubMenu1.m_hMenu, "SubMenu"); } CString csMnuText; menuLoaded->GetMenuString(2, csMnuText, MF_BYPOSITION); menuLoaded->DeleteMenu(2, MF_BYPOSITION); //delete old popup menuLoaded->InsertMenu(2, MF_BYPOSITION \| MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)tempMenu1Main.m_hMenu, csMnuText); TrackPopupMenu(menuLoaded->GetSafeHmenu(), 0, rc.left, rc.bottom, 0, m_hWnd, 0); } It seems the predefined submenus are working, but not these - it does work without loading any skins. This is done, then the menu is shown. It works without code jock skinning. There must be a way to fix this. Also, when I tried to just disable popup menus just as a test using SetApplyOptions (1 \| 2 \| 4)...the popup menus reverted fine...but the main menu didn't work at all.
