Persistent & Movable Popup Menu

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

   I'd like to make a popup menu that does a couple of slightly unusual things.  First, I'd like it to stay on-screen for more than one click.  Second, I would like to be able to drag it around using a label I have inserted as the first entry in the menu.

I have found some threads relating to the first item using SetCloseSubMenuOnClick.  I've tried it and had some success.  My original code (before these unusual requirements surfaced) used CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu with TPM_RETURNCMD | TPM_NONOTIFY | TPM_RECURSE.  To get the multi-click behavior I had to drop TPM_RETURNCMD.  Is that correct?  I also changed my call to specify the window driving the popup as the parent and was able to catch message notification there.  Hmm, this isn't so much a question about "how" as a question about "am I doing this right?"

As to the drag, I am coming up empty.  Any suggestions?
