Hi,

I need to automate a program which has a popup menu.
This other program has a button which, when clicked,
brings up the popup menu.
I am able to click the button from my controller program
and the popup menu shows up. However, how can I get
this popup menu?
The other program is written in Delphi so I assume that the
popup has TPopupMenu as classname. I then tried to
use FindWindow/FindWindowEx to find the menu. However,
to no avail. I am not sure whether I used the correct arguments.

What is usually the parent of a popup menu?
Or is a popup menu a top level window?

The main problem is that I can't use Spy++ to check this
out because the popup menu of course disappears when
I switch to Spy++.

thanks for any idea,
Nick
