    set focus to a menu

    anyone know how to set focus to a menu? i'm making an app with a system tray menu. it works fine, except you can't control it using the arrow keys of the keyboard unless you right click it first (set focus to it). i've set the parent form as the active window. without that, you can't scroll with the arrow keys even when you do right click.

    Try this:
    VB Code:
    1. Private Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

    2.  
    3. SetForegroundWindow Me.hwnd

    i've already tried that, along with SetActiveWindow. it sets the focus to the form, but not the menu itself.
