multiple ticking context menu?

[Emuman]

in office 2003, Add or Remove Buttons menu, the menu keeps showing even after the user clicked the menu item. this is very convenient for multiple selection.
any idea how to implement this without mfc?

From what I see, I think they aren't menus but custom windows which look like menus.

[Emuman]

thank you. anyone has other suggestions?

You can try to handle WM_CANCELMODE and return 1 to avoid window from using the default behavior (that is stopping the menu "message loop")

kkez, can you please show me some example or add this behavior to the implementation of your owner drawn menu?
