DDT Popup Menu Question

[Gregery D Engle]

How would I create a dialog that has a popup menu like this:

[code]

+----------------+
| popup selector1|
| popup selector2|
| popup selector3|
| popup selector4|
| popup selector5|
| popup selector6|
| popup selector7|
|----------------+

I am trying to create a dialog that displays only a popup menu.
I'm trying to make something like the "Start Menu" in windows.

Its simply going to display items like a "listbox" but it will
look like the items listed when you click on the "Start Menu"

Any ideas?

How about a dynamically created owner-drawn list box control? From memory, the START menu uses a listview control so that could be another possibility?

Alternatively, why not just create a menu and use TrackPopupMenu() ?

As I understand, a reason of Greg's question is that he was not able to cancel TrackPopupMenu.
MSDN, Q203372:
HOWTO: Cancel an Active Menu
To cancel an active menu send a WM_CANCELMODE message to the window that owns it.
MORE INFORMATION
When you send the WM_CANCELMODE message to the owner window of an active menu, the window exits the menu mode. You can use this technique to force the abandonment of active TrackPopupMenu or TrackPopupMenuEx.

Lance,

I would never of known that the Start Menu is a listview

And that is the problem, I can't cancel a popup when I don't own it.

Semen seems to have answered your question.

Interestingly, the desktop itself is a listview control (and if I recall correctly, as is Windows Explorer's [dual pane] interface) and the task bar is a tabcontrol with a pushbutton (style instead of conventional tabs).

Lance,

I remember that the desktop was a listview but how in the heck do
they have Two different ICONS in the Start Menu popup?

eg?

[program icon] - [program name] - [expand icon]

I always thought the listview could only have one icon to the
left hand side.

Thanks

Start menu popup, at least, in Win2000 Pro, is toolbar.
It's a little strange, but two different programs talk so.
