What is the best way to find out from the client program when a popup menu on an XTPCommandBar becomes visible/active, and again when it becomes hidden? (i.e. when the user clicks on a menu to make it visible, and when the user clicks an item or clicks away to make the menu hidden)

I need to stop rendering something in the background when the menu is covering part of it.

Thanks.

BTW... I'm using GetClipBox from the window in the background to determine if it is partially or completely obscured (by a menu or anything else) during my painting.

I'm just checking to see if there is a better way.

Thanks!

The only problem with that technique (GetClipBox) is that it leaves menus painted on the background even when another sub menu might be selected.

So I'm back to asking if there is a way to know when a menu or submenu has become visible or hidden.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can override CXTPCommandBars::OnTrackingModeChanged method and change if GetMouseManager()->IsTrackedLock() is TRUE.
