Hi all, Can any one please tell me the code for loading a popup menu on right click on a particular item in a list view. Thanks. Kishore.

You can use of NM_RCLICK event and then load your menu.

Does this imply that you are handling the NM_RCLICK notification? If so, then you should have something like:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyView, CListView)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMyView)
ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_RCLICK, OnRclick)
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
...
void CMyView::OnRclick(LPNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
CListCtrl &ctrlList = GetListCtrl();
CPoint pt;
CMenu menu,
*pSubMenu;

if (ctrlList.GetNextItem(-1, LVIS\_SELECTED) != -1)
{
    menu.LoadMenu(IDR\_ITEM\_MENU);
    pSubMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);

    // where was the mouse clicked?
    pt = GetMessagePos();

    pSubMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM\_LEFTALIGN, pt.x, pt.y, this);
}

\*pResult = 0;

}
