Get HMENU of popup menu from containing window handle?

[kuc...@gmail.com]

I wrote a hook for MSN Messenger, I'm catching context menu opening
(WM_INITMENUPOPUP), get menu handle (HMENU) and add my own menu items.
>From version 8.0 MSN Messenger stopped to send WM_INITMENUPOPUP.
Maximum I can get - I'm catching WM_ENTERIDLE with parameter MSGF_MENU
- so I get a handle of the window containing this popup menu. I've
checked - it's the correct window (tried to call DestroyWindow and it
worked correctly). Now the question - how can I get menu handle (HMENU)
if I know its container window handle?

P.S. People told me that version 8.0 was written in C# and uses WinFX -
maybe somebody is familiar with it and can tell me if there's a chance
to get menu handle by using WinFX functions?

Hi,

Use the following APIs to retrieve the handle of the menu,
and get menu information:

GetMenu()
GetSubMenu()
GetMenuInfo()
GetMenuBarInfo()

Hope these suggestions helps,

No, unfortunately this doesn't help at all. I'm aware of GetMenu
function subset, it relates to menus for window. I'm talking about
different situation. Context menu is a window itself, it doesn't belong
to any window as regular menu. Correct answer was below - and it is
MN_GETHMENU.
