I am plaaninig to write my own windows menu.
I could use popup window, but it's not the same feeling as the real menu.
So i thought just to draw drop down to desktop hdc (hdc=GetDC(0)).
Do you have any idea how real menus do it?
Do you know of any other window i could use for menu dropdown? For combo box
i used popup and it works fine, except that active application's window
title is greyed when dropped down - that bothers me.
