TrackPopupMenu info  Overview  Group

The TrackPopupMenu function displays a shortcut menu at the specified location and tracks the selection of items on the menu. The shortcut menu can appear anywhere on the screen.

BOOL TrackPopupMenu(

    HMENU hMenu,

// handle of shortcut menu

    UINT uFlags,

// screen-position and mouse-button flags

    int x,

// horizontal position, in screen coordinates

    int y,

// vertical position, in screen coordinates

    int nReserved,

// reserved, must be zero

    HWND hWnd,

// handle of owner window

    CONST RECT *prcRect

// points to RECT that specifies no-dismissal area

   );

Parameters

hMenu
Identifies the shortcut menu to be displayed. The handle can be obtained by calling CreatePopupMenu to create a new shortcut menu, or by calling GetSubMenu to retrieve the handle of a submenu associated with an existing menu item.
uFlags
A set of bit flags that specify function options.

Use one of the following bit flag constants to specify how the function positions the shortcut menu horizontally.

Value

Meaning

TPM_CENTERALIGN

If this flag is set, the function centers the shortcut menu horizontally relative to the coordinate specified by the x parameter.

TPM_LEFTALIGN

If this flag is set, the function positions the shortcut menu so that its left side is aligned with the coordinate specified by the x parameter.

TPM_RIGHTALIGN

Positions the shortcut menu so that its right side is aligned with the coordinate specified by the x parameter.

Use one of the following bit flag constants to specify how the function positions the shortcut menu vertically.

Value

Meaning

TPM_BOTTOMALIGN

If this flag is set, the function positions the shortcut menu so that its bottom side is aligned with the coordinate specified by the y parameter.

TPM_TOPALIGN

If this flag is set, the function positions the shortcut menu so that its top side is aligned with the coordinate specified by the y parameter.

TPM_VCENTERALIGN

If this flag is set, the function centers the shortcut menu vertically relative to the coordinate specified by the y parameter.

Use the following bit flag constants to determine the user selection without having to set up a parent window for the menu.

Value

Meaning

TPM_NONOTIFY

If this flag is set, the function does not send notification messages when the user clicks on a menu item.

TPM_RETURNCMD

If this flag is set, the function returns the menu item identifier of the user's selection in the return value.

Use one of the following bit flag constants to specify which mouse button the shortcut menu tracks.

Value

Meaning

TPM_LEFTBUTTON

If this flag is set, the shortcut menu tracks the left mouse button.

TPM_RIGHTBUTTON

If this flag is set, the shortcut menu tracks the right mouse button

x
Specifies the horizontal location of the shortcut menu, in screen coordinates.
y
Specifies the vertical location of the shortcut menu, in screen coordinates.
nReserved
Reserved; must be zero.
hWnd
Identifies the window that owns the shortcut menu. This window receives all messages from the menu. The window does not receive a WM_COMMAND message from the menu until the function returns.

If you specify TPM_NONOTIFY in the uFlags parameter, the function does not send messages to the window identified by hWnd. However, you must still pass a window handle in hWnd. It can be any window handle from your application.

prcRect
Points to a RECT structure that specifies the portion of the screen in which the user can select without dismissing the shortcut menu. If this parameter is NULL, the shortcut menu is dismissed if the user clicks outside the shortcut menu.

Return Values

If you specify TPM_RETURNCMD in the uFlags parameter, the return value is the menu-item identifier of the item that the user selected. If the user cancels the menu without making a selection, or if an error occurs, then the return value is zero.

If you do not specify TPM_RETURNCMD in the uFlags parameter, the return value is nonzero if the function succeeds and zero if it fails. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
