patchou,
why i cant hook on the API TrackPopupMenuEx in order to get the menu handle of the system tray APIS32 says (!think!) that the value is returned to MsgPlusH.dll

Try e-mailing patchou personally as he is not active and he repleys more to e-mails

do you mean the menu handle of the context menu of the contact list?    If so I've spoken to Patchou about it before and I can't rememeber what he said, I'll see if I've still got the email

yeh, ive spoken to patch about this before, he recommended using TrackPopupMenuEx, but as i was unable to do so, i did try subclassing the WM_INITMENUPOPUP msg, but i was unable to gain the handle of the popup...


if you make a break through taz, please contact me and tell me how you did it thanks

yea he said MSN doesnt send a WM_CONTEXT message

I am always talking about the system tray menu

i am not tryign to hook or subclass on the proc to get the menu handle because the way TrackPopupMenuEx is called it does not notify the wnd about WM_INITMENU etc..etc...

so the only way to het the menu handle is to hook on the actuall API to get the input arguments to the API, BUT i cannot hook on the TrackPopupMenuEx API, which is the BEST way. (that is what i am talking about MsgPlusH.dll that stops the hooking procedure)

instead i am hooking on the LoadMenuA API to get the result of the API to get the menu which is successful...

see the picture

so if you are already sucessfully doing it it an alternate way, why do you want to hook the tracppopupmenu call?

because it is most appropriate !!! to do it there
and plus prevents me for no actuall reason...

anyway if i did it there i could also get the menucommand once the menu was selected... the result of TrackP...

now i am using a detour that is not quite reliable
Hope it answered your q

ah right yea, so atm you can add the menu but not get the callback from it

no i get the callback, the menu is working.
but i get the menu command using WM_LBUTTONUP which is not very reliable
