Handling WM_INITMENUPOPUP

rrrado

Hello, how can I cancel(close) the popup menu when I decide to do that in the WM_INITMENUPOPUP notification handler ? I've tried to call DestroyMenu() on provided menu handle but it does not work althought it returns 1 (success). Thank you!

How you are creating menu, can you show it? Because,I suspect, you are using temporary handle to menu(which is supposed not to use), to destroy menu.

User is creating the menu so I think that handle is temporary. I haven't found this information that it's not for destruction - so how can I close the menu ? I've also tried PostMessage(WM_CHAR,VK_ESCAPE,1); to owning window's handle it also failed.

I've got it. It seems that sending WM_CANCELMODE does the trick :)

Hi, only a (untested) proposal. Have you tried WM_MENUSELECT? This message is (possible) send before WM_INITMENUPOPUP. -> catch the selection before the popupmenu is created HTH Frank

It can be used for destruction, but its temporary, means you cannot store it ,and use from some other function. Can you show some code?

User press context menu key or right click. I'm not storing handle for later use. But it does not matter now as I've wrote before i've solved it by sending WM_CANCELMODE message. Thank you all guys for your time!!!
