Hi Derek,
     Guillermo Bonvehi's method works. I would suggest to people to get in
the habit of using
TrackPopupMenuEx Function. The reason i say this is because of the TPMPARAMS
structure which you can fill in and have your popup menu correctly
displayed(clipped) to the screen.

I HTH.......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

The TrackPopupMenuEx function displays a shortcut menu at the specified
location and tracks the selection of items on the shortcut menu. The
shortcut menu can appear anywhere on the screen.

Syntax

BOOL TrackPopupMenuEx(          HMENU hmenu,
    UINT fuFlags,
    int x,
    int y,
    HWND hwnd,
    LPTPMPARAMS lptpm
);

TPMPARAMS Structure

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

The TPMPARAMS structure contains extended parameters for the
TrackPopupMenuEx function.

Syntax

typedef struct tagTPMPARAMS {
  UINT cbSize;
  RECT rcExclude;
} TPMPARAMS, *LPTPMPARAMS;
Members

cbSize
Size of structure, in bytes.
rcExclude
Rectangle to exclude when positioning the window, in screen coordinates.
Structure Information

Header Declared in Winuser.h, include Windows.h
Minimum operating systems Windows 95, Windows NT 3.1
