Hi. I would like to know is it possible and how to create a submenu. For example, in CEditView, when the user right-click (depends on mouse orientation) Windows draws a submenu with options such as Copy, Paste, etc. I would like to know is there a way to create something like that for *anything* including any view or object using MFC and/or Win32 API. Thanks, Kuphryn

of course there is.

There's a WM_CONTEXTMENU message, I believe.

MFC has a bunch of wrappers for it. Unfortunately, I don't have my Professional MFC with Visual C++ 6 book here or I'd whip it out and let ya have it

EDIT:

Here's some msdn links:

WM_CONTEXTMENU Notification
