I have a context help button whose handler just calls
CMDIFrameWndEx::OnContextHelp();
The mouse cursor turns into questionMark+arrow and applying it (eg) to a
button then brings up context help instead of executing the command.
In the old days this used to work for context help on menu items too. But
since I've been using CMFCMenuBar (in Visual Studio 2010), clicking on the
menu bar goes straight into context help, instead of dropping the menu to
let me get at the menu items.
[I thought maybe I'd one something silly, so I created a vanilla app with
the wizard, added the context help command, and it has the same behaviour.]
Is there an easy work around I can program which makes the menu drop?
