[in, optional] ahkeys

Type: const HKEY*

A pointer to an array of registry keys that specify the context menu handlers used with the menu's entries. For more information on context menu handlers, see Creating Context Menu Handlers. This array can contain a maximum of 16 registry keys.

Type: IContextMenu**

The address of an IContextMenu interface pointer that, when this function returns successfully, points to the IContextMenu object that represents the context menu.
