RE: Pathcou - TrackPopupMenuEx
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

RE: Pathcou - TrackPopupMenuEx
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 :D :) thanks :)

O.P. RE: Pathcou - TrackPopupMenuEx
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

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

O.P. RE: Pathcou - TrackPopupMenuEx
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 :D
