No statusbar update

   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.
