Hi!

I did managed to do this with some effort.

First of all, create a top-level form with no title bar and controls in it. When clicking on tray icon, you will display that form and then shortcut menu in it. You will have to play a bit around the form position size to make form size and location exactly the same as shortcut menu window size and exactly as required to show menu above the tray icon. You can try to use API functions to do not display form in the taskbar (I do not remember how I solved this one ;( ).

There is another problem. User will not be able to select anything until ActiveX event finished. But it will not finish when you will use "Activate" command for shortcut. the solution here is to use timer. Place a hidden form and timer on it. Start timer from the ActiveX event. In the timer event code stop timer and launch the shortcut menu form. THis way you will be sure form and mmenu are activated just from the VFP code, not from ActiveX event.

HTH.
