Popup Menu

[TadaTensai]

I'm working on a shell replacement.... Instead of a start menu, im wanting to make it so you right click on the desktop and it pops up a menu. I tried to do it from a resource, but I gave up on that. How do I do this? Same type of thing as a systray icon.

HMENU hMenu = LoadMenu(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(MNU_MAIN));
if(!hMenu || !IsMenu(hMenu) || !pOwner || !IsWindow(pOwner->m_hWnd)) return -1;

POINT thePoint;
GetCursorPos(&thePoint);
SetForegroundWindow(hWndParent);
int iID = TrackPopupMenu(GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0), TPM_RIGHTALIGN | TPM_RETURNCMD, thePoint.x, thePoint.y, 0, pOwner->m_hWnd, NULL);
DestroyMenu(hMenu);The highlighted line is important for tray icons, not sure about when randomly popping things up.

Oh yeah, it has to be a submenu off a menu, not on the root.

So how would this menu be layed out? (API or Diagram)

This is what it should look like.

GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0) gets the first submenu (the opened one) and uses that.

PS: You might need to save this and open it separately if it doesn't work because something's up with the server's MIME types.
