Popup Positioning

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

   I am calling CXTPPopupBar::Popup to track a context menu.  Inside there, a call is made to UpdateLocation to position the menu.  Shortly thereafter, a call is made to OnIdleUpdateCmdUI, and in my handler for that I remove an entry or two via "pControl->SetVisible(FALSE)".  However, since that happens after the position is calculated, the menu ends up looking "off" when the click happened near the bottom of the screen.  That is, there is an n-entry vertical gap (where n is the number of entries I removed) between the cursor and the bottom of the menu.

Shouldn't the UpdateLocation call happen after OnIdleUpdateCmdUI?
