Remarks

Normally, MFC creates pop-up menus automatically. If you want to create a CMFCPopupMenu object manually, allocate one on the heap and then call CMFCPopupMenu::Create.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to configure a pop-up menu object. The example shows how to set the logo and the sound of the pop-up menu, set the animation speed and type, draw menu shadows when the pop-up menu appears outside the main frame, set the maximum width, and set the right menu alignment of the pop-up menu. This code snippet is part of the Custom Pages sample.

        // 30 is the size of the logo in pixels.
        pPopupMenu->EnableMenuLogo(30);
        pPopupMenu->EnableMenuSound();
        // 500 is the animation speed in milliseconds.
        pPopupMenu->SetAnimationSpeed(500);
        pPopupMenu->SetAnimationType(CMFCPopupMenu::SLIDE);
        pPopupMenu->SetForceShadow(true);
        // 200 is the maximum width of the pop-up menu in pixels.
        pPopupMenu->SetMaxWidth(200);
        pPopupMenu->SetRightAlign();
        pPopupMenu->InsertSeparator();
