1) I think you can't. There is only one way to solve this problem - switch "menu effects" options off in Windows Settings. Of course, you can paint menu manually, but is it worthy of that efforts?
I used BCMenu class, but any other ownerdraw menu works too. I need to figure out what makes it non sliding here on WIn9x, but at least it works.
void CBCDialogMenuDlg::OnButtonMenu()
{
BCMenu menu;
menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MYTYPE);
BCMenu* pPopupMenu = (BCMenu*) menu.GetSubMenu(0);
ASSERT(pPopupMenu != NULL);
CRect rect;
m_away.GetWindowRect(rect);
pPopupMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, rect.left, rect.top, this);
}

2) Point is that Windows can place popup menus in different directions relative to point that you indicated to menu. It depends how close this menu is to bounds of screen. If you will adjust menu position manually, it may result a bug in some particular case
good point. I'll make sure my window is big enough to hold the menu over the button.

When I said "paint menu manually" i indeed meant a ownerdraw menu. But remember that using of ownerdraw menus may lead to refusing from some Windows abilities as WinXP Themes and etc.
Somehow or other, we have found consensus

well.. I tried a bit with CButtonST. I can at least meassure the height of the menu there. Some code.... not finsihed yet, but seems to work:
void BCMenu::GetClientRect(LPRECT lpRect)
{
lpRect->left=0;
lpRect->top=0;
lpRect->bottom=0;
lpRect->right=0;
MEASUREITEMSTRUCT MIS;
BCMenuData *mdata;
UINT nID;
int num = GetMenuItemCount();
for(int i=num-1;i>=0;--i)
{
nID=GetMenuItemID(i);
mdata=FindMenuList(nID);
MIS.itemData = (DWORD) mdata;
MeasureItem(&MIS);
lpRect->bottom += MIS.itemHeight;
if(MIS.itemWidth > (unsigned) lpRect->right) lpRect->right = MIS.itemWidth;
}
lpRect->bottom+=5;
}
PS: I have choosen ownerdraw menu because I like the possibility bitmaps in menus

sliding is away, I used a onwerdraw menu.
Now I need to find out how to exactly position my menu... I think I will also figure that out now. thx

'TPM_NOANIMATION' is not declared (MSDN mentions it though).
I run WinME here and can't find this text string in any *.h file (I scanned my harddisk for it)
|

You can declare it yourself
TPM_VERNEGANIMATION=8192
TPM_NOANIMATION=16384
|

thx man!
But doesn't work on WinME.
Let me try compiling on XP.... yes, it works there.
#define TPM_NOANIMATION 16384
pPopupMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON | TPM_NOANIMATION, rect.left, rect.top, this);
In which file do you have this definition, I can't even find it on my XP computer? However, I will choose a ownerdraw menu, b/c it works for Win9x/XP. I need to patch some more at class BCMenu (see other post in this thread), but this control looks nice on both Win9x/XP.
thanks for help! I will feedback the author of BCMenu later.

How to determine, that tooltip it will be displayed now, that it was possible to change his text.

What kind of tooltip it is? Do you have your own CToolTipCtrl object or it's the one mainained by MFC?

I would like to use CToolTipCtrl if such it is possible.
At me is the control similar to a grid and for each column and a line I need to draw the individual text.
What can you advise me?
Best regards,

Yes but message TTN_NEEDTEXT is sent once for all control. That this message is sent second time to me it was necessary to leave a control and then again to go on him. Such approach bad.
How to force the message to be sent at change of a line and a column inside a control.
Best regards,
Eugene Pustovoyt

You need to check mouse cursor position in OnMouseMove. If you want to display tooltip, call m_tooltip.Activate(TRUE). If you want to turn off tooltip, call m_tooltip.Activate(FALSE). If you want to change the text of the tooltip, call Activate(FALSE), then Activate(TRUE).

In the sample, message 1 will be the expected return
message 2 always returns "Help Dir", what am i not doing right.
any helps always appreciated.
CString mDest;
1. AfxMessageBox(m_FileObject[t].m_Dest);
if (m_FileObject[t].m_Dest = "AppDir")
mDest = "App Dir";
if (m_FileObject[t].m_Dest = "SysDir")
mDest = "System Dir";
if (m_FileObject[t].m_Dest = "WinDir")
mDest = "Windows Dir";
if (m_FileObject[t].m_Dest = "HlpDir")
mDest = "Help Dir";
2. AfxMessageBox(mDest);

You are not comparing, you are assigning!
Change the single "=" inside the parens to "==".

nope tried that, thanks anyways
this works
int r;
sDest = m_FileObject.GetAt(t).m_Dest;
r = sDest.Find("AppDir");
if (r != -1)
AfxMessageBox(sDest);
r = sDest.Find("SysDir");
if (r != -1)
AfxMessageBox(sDest);
r = sDest.Find("WinDir");
if (r != -1)
AfxMessageBox(sDest);
r = sDest.Find("HlpDir");
if (r != -1)
AfxMessageBox(sDest);
but, now is there a better way?

You can't have, because what Mike said was dead right.
if (s = "s")
will assign "s" to s and return true.
You should use your first method, with the == corrected, and make them else-if's so that once one comes back successful the rest of the checks are not made for no reason.

I have a question about menus. I have just started learning Visual C++ .net. I am reading Teach yourself visual c++ 6 in 21 days. There are some things that are different like the class wizard. The problem i am having is how do you attach the menu after you have created it to the CMenuDlg class. What i have right now is I can see the menu on the dialog but when i try to add a function to it none of my things work, i get errors like OnOK() function is not defined
Thanks

Hi there, I was on the same way like you, learning from Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6. But it does not work well i think. I chosen another book by Jonathan Betus. It is a black book. I don't bring the book today to office so I cannot give you the name today. Perhaps tomolo. Anyway, I think the error that you have got is becoz you change the wizard generated code. But if you want to add function, you should edit the menu and go to class wizard to add an event handler for the menu. Good luck

Thanks for responding. I found the error it was because i wasn't inheriting from the CDialog class like i should.

almost every one has used following line
#include < iostream > //or others
i don't know why don't use dot h, so
#include < iostream.h >
if say, file name < iostream.h > has been used, but it can be another name (i.e. iosteam_0_1_2.h)
my question is,
why don't use .h for the head file? is there any advantages?
thx
