Hi, I'm using CommandBars to display a popup menu in the system tray when the user right-clicks a NotifyIcon. Everything works great except when the menu is open, and you click somewhere on the screen the menu doesn't go away when it loses focus. Is there an event that is raised when the popup menu loses focus? I want to hide the popup menu when the user clicks somewhere on the screen so it acts as a normal tray menu. I'm using VB 2005 and CommandBars 10.1.

Hi Majek,

    I ran into this problem on my SysTray project that wasn't using CodeJock controls, so I believe it is a VB problem. My solution is to call the SetForegroundWindow API immediately before showing the popup menu:

In your declarations:

    Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Then in your sub:

    SetForegroundWindow Me.hwnd
    PopupMenu Me.mnuPopup
