Context Menu makes parent window stop working

[rudi]

Hi,
My context menu is working fine, but I want the parent window to keep running (animating) while the context menu is in the focus. Do I have to make another window to make this work?

I am handling the WM_CONTEXTMENU message, its working quite well until the parent window stops working. So I guess the actual menu is taking the focus away from the parent window?

When I right click on the parent window I have a context menu with options that the user can press. But I want this window to run or animate while this context menu is active, how can I make this happen?

This is the actual function in the WM_CONTEXTMENU message:

TrackPopupMenu(hMenu, TPM_CENTERALIGN | TPM_LEFTBUTTON | TPM_NOANIMATION | TPM_NONOTIFY | TPM_RETURNCMD, GET_X_LPARAM(msg.lParam), GET_Y_LPARAM(msg.lParam), NULL, hwnd, NULL);

I tried to use GetDesktopWindow as the hwnd instead of the parent hwnd in this function but this would not work (i.e. the context menu would not show up then).

Thanks
