Hi,

I've developed a MDI-Application.

When I'm loading popupmenu from a resource...

pPopupMenu->LoadMenu(IDR_XYZ); 

...and display it...

CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(pPopupMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, aPoint.x, aPoint.y, this);

...then the mainframe received the WM_SETMESSAGESTRING and WM_POPMESSAGESTRING messages and I'm able to update the statusbar.

But when I'm using a dynamically built popupmenu, then the mainframe doesn't receive the WM_SETMESSAGESTRING and WM_POPMESSAGESTRING messages.

pPopMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, ID_XYZ1, GetMyMenuLabel(i));
pPopMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, ID_XYZ2, GetMyMenuLabel(2));
CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(pPopupMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, aPoint.x, aPoint.y, this);

Strangely, when I'm using the MFC CMenu::TrackPopupMenu() - methode for displaying the menu, then the messages are fired.

thanks for any suggestions.
