[COLOR=Sienna]How to Popup a Menu for the Menu created by MenuEditor & populated at runtime, the Popup should be shown when the user right click the Menu.[/COLOR]
Hi,

I need to show the PopuMenu for populated Menu, either its created by API as below or by MenuObject. The below
is the way i created the Menu through API based on the sample of ROB in this Forum.

The below is the code in the General Declaration Section in the Form.

Const MF_CHECKED = &H8&
Const MF_APPEND = &H100&
Const TPM_LEFTALIGN = &H0&
Const MF_DISABLED = &H2&
Const MF_GRAYED = &H1&
Const MF_SEPARATOR = &H800&
Const MF_STRING = &H0&
Private Type POINTAPI
    X As Long
    Y As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function CreatePopupMenu Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function TrackPopupMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal nReserved As Long, ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lprc As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function AppendMenu Lib "user32" Alias "AppendMenuA" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal wIDNewItem As Long, ByVal lpNewItem As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function DestroyMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
Dim hMenu As Long

Private Type MSG
    hwnd As Long
    message As Long
    wParam As Long
    lParam As Long
    time As Long
    pt As POINTAPI
End Type 

I am using a Grid control, that is populated at runtime with AreaName, In that GridControl's MouseUp Event, I
am loading the Equipment for the Cicked Area is populated and displayed in a Menu and shown to the user. By using
the below code. It works fine. All Equipments are added to the Menu created by the Menu Editor at runtime.

Private Sub JanfpSpr_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Dim CurSprVal As Variant
    Dim DtVal As Variant
    Dim oMenu As Menu
    Dim rstSi As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim ShtType As String
    Dim JanCritTyp As Variant
    
    If Button = vbLeftButton Then
        JanfpSpr.GetText 4, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, JanCritTyp
        JanfpSpr.GetText 1, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, CurSprVal
        JanfpSpr.GetText 3, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, DtVal
        
        ShtType = Mid(CurSprVal, Len(CurSprVal) - 4, Len(CurSprVal))
        CurSprVal = Mid(CurSprVal, 1, Len(CurSprVal) - 9)
        
        If JanCritTyp = "Area" Then
                SQL = "select * from EquipMaster where ArName='" & Mid(CurSprVal, 7, Len(CurSprVal)) & "' And Nextti Between #" & DtVal & "# And #" & DtVal & "# And ShtTp='" & ShtType & "' order by ENo"
                If rstSi.State = 1 Then rstSi.Close
                rstSi.Open SQL, cnnNew, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
                Call UnloadMenuItems
                mnuLstSubItms(0).Caption = Mid(CurSprVal, 7, Len(CurSprVal))
                mnuLstSubItms(0).Enabled = False
            
                While Not rstSi.EOF
                    Load mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.Count + 1)
                    mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.UBound).Caption = rstSi.Fields("ENo")
                    mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.UBound).Enabled = True
                    rstSi.MoveNext
                Wend
                mnuLstEqp.Enabled = True
                Call PopupMenu(mnuInfo)
        ElseIf JanCritTyp = "Equipment" Then
               Call UnloadMenuItems
               mnuLstEqp.Enabled = False
               Call PopupMenu(mnuInfo)
        End If
    End If
'    End If
End Sub 

Just in the Above code I added the Equipment Names in the Menu, If the User Right Click any
1 of the Equipment from the Menu then i need to show a Popup Menu with Update,Report etc.
for this Popup from the Equipment I added the Below Code in Form_Load() and mnuLstSubItms_Click()

Private Sub Form_Load()
    hMenu = CreatePopupMenu()
    AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Update"
        AppendMenu hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&
        AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Delete"
        AppendMenu hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&
        AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Report"
End Sub

Private Sub mnuLstSubItms_Click(Index As Integer)
    Dim pt As POINTAPI
    GetCursorPos pt
    TrackPopupMenu hMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN, pt.X, pt.Y, 0, Me.hwnd, ByVal 0&
End Sub 

What happens for this code is, The Popup menu is Show, but as soon as this Popup Menu is shown
the existing PopuMenu disappears, i need both to be visible as we can see in Windows Menus

[B]Requirements:[/B]

How to find which MouseButton is Clicked in the mnuLstSubItms_Click Event.
How to and where to write the Events for the PopupMenu created through API (for Menu Update,Report)
How to protect without the Menu disappears, when the user right click the Equipment.

As (Moderator) Rob said i posted here this issue in the New Thread. Hope any VBForums member
might have faced the same scenario. Kindly check this and reply me.

The picture of the Menus on runtime and design time are also attached here for your reference.

Thankyou,
Chock.

Use the MouseUp instead of the Click event to display the menu

Do you really use the APIs to create a runtime menu? That is not necessary.

Open the Menu editor (Ctrl+E) in design mode, when your form is shown in the IDE.
Add a menu (let's call it mnuPopup) and mark it as Invisible (visible = false). Now add to it a a sub menu (let's call it mnuItem) and make it an array (set its Index to 0).

At run time, use "Load mnuItem(1)" to create another subMenu (as many as you want). Use "Unload mnuItem(1)" to remove it. This is the same tecnique that is used to create controls dynamically.

At the mose down event, use "me.PopupMenu mnuPopup" to display the menu in the MouseUp event.

Let me know.
