Good day,

I am developing an application where i have registered several commands in the Prof Command Manager.

for example: ID_FILE_NEW , ID_EXIT

Those commands are used in a menu , MENU1 and everything is fine.

Then i create a context menu which contain some of the items of MENU1.

I accomplish this by creating a CExtPopupMenuWnd and using ItemInsert(ID_FILE_NEW ,-1 , ...) etc.

Everything works well when selecting items in the context menu.

The problem is that i need to know if the message when selecting a menu item comes from the context menu or not. Is there a way to either catch the select event of the context menu or perhaps change the message sent by such an event?

An similar trick i use with MFC is setting the

Thanx in advance.

You can track your context menu using the TPMX_DO_MESSAGE_LOOP flag. This means the CExtPopupMenuWnd::TrackPopupMenu() will not return the execution control until menu is displayed on the screen. This allows you to save some flag variable indicating the context menu mode.
