TrackPopupMenuEx and menu messages

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

   I am calling the static TrackPopupMenuEx function that has the "pWnd" arg that the documentation says is the "owner window" and the "pWndOwner" that the documentation says "points to a CWnd object".

I am also adding TPM_RETURNCMD to the input flags.

My frame window handles WM_INITPOPUPMENU where we add bitmaps and enable/disable menu items etc. We also handle WM_MENUSELECT messages where we do tooltips for the tracked menu. These are called when I use the CMenu::TrackPopupMenuEx function.

When I use CodeJock, neither of these messages are sent to the frame window regardless of whether I set one or both CWnd args to my frame window. Hence my menu entries that need to be disabled are not being disabled and I do not get my tooltips for the menu.

Note: I also tried the non-static TrackPopupMenuEx after obtaining the command bars object from the frame window with the same results. Nor does removing TPM_RETURNCMD make any difference.

So:

How does the tracked menu obtain the bitmaps?

How do I get the normal menu messages (not just WM_COMMAND) sent to my frame window so I can influence the menu before it is presented to the user?
