To connect a pop-up menu to your application

  1. Add a message handler for WM_CONTEXTMENU (for example). For more information, see Mapping Messages to Functions.

  2. Add the following code to the message handler:

    CMenu menu;  
VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU1));  
CMenu* pPopup = menu.GetSubMenu(0);  
ASSERT(pPopup != NULL);  
pPopup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, point.x, point.y, AfxGetMainWnd());

    Note

    The CPoint passed by the message handler is in screen coordinates.
