Error: Popup menu already active

[Francis L Spafford]

I want to display a context menu for an item on a popup menu, similar to the
way the favorites menu of Internet Explorer works (example: context menu
allows you to delete a link).

When I try this, I get an error from TrackPopupMenu, because a popup menu is
already active.

Can this be done?

Hello Francis,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Surely it could be done. To display a context-sensitive menu for a menu
item, please call the TrackPopupMenuEx function with TPM_RECURSE.

From MSDN, we could see that:
Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Use the TPM_RECURSE flag to display a menu
when another menu is already displayed. This is intended to support context
menus within a menu.

So we could search TPM_RESURSE in MSDN and Internet to find information on
this topic.

Does that answer your question?
