How to get the handle of a Popup Menu for a window?
-
If I high-light some text in a window and right-click the mouse, there will be a popup menu with items like copy, cut, paste, etc. If I know the handle of the window, how to get the handle of the popup menu? I know about the GetMenu API, does it do what I want? This is for a non-MFC app. Please note that I don't want to create a new menu, just needs the handle of the existing popup menu. Thanks.[

Generally, the menu is created just before it is used and destroyed afterwards (most developers would do it this way), so you can't get a handle to it. Even if it was kept around, there is no API to get its handle because it is not a Windows function - the application takes care of creating and storing it, and just calls
TrackPopupMenu()when necessary to display it.Ryan

What I want to do is adding some items to the menu, not replacing the menu. The application is not mine, I need to install a hook to get into the application. Currently I am trying other ways. Thanks.[
