How MessageBox() kills active context menu
-
I've noticed within my MFC application that should a MessageBox() API be invoked while the user is displaying a context menu that the menu is taken down and the MessageBox is shown. However, if a DoModal() API is called to show one of my dialogs while a context menu is being shown the menu stays up but you can no longer select from it. Its kind of frozen. How can I go about causing the context menu to go away prior to calling the DoModal() API? Is there a way to search for a visible menu and then subsequently destroy them? Any ideas or code snipits?
