Hello Gambit

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

What I am trying to do is manage the location of menus.
For the main menu what I do, is trap the WM_create call
verify if its a menu, and I redirect the menu in the location I desire.  When sub menus come into play, I am trying to mimic
the display of the sub menu as if it were on the edge of the desktop, therefore it will be displayed on the left of the main
menu and NOT the right, like it normally would.

To see the displaying of menus, right-click on your desktop so 
that the popup menu is near the right edge of the desktop
and then open any one of the sub menus.  The menu will appear
on the Left side of the menu instead of the right.

That is what I am attempting to acheive.

I will continue to try to find some sort of solution for this.

Thanks
Marc
