Hi,

I'm attempting to create a Unicode pop-up menu but due to my lack of 
experience with non-VCL UI components I'm having problems with even the 
most basic things (note that I do not want to use a 3rd party component, 
but rather try it myself).

I'm assuming this code creates a single menu-item in a pop-up menu. 
Later on, when I get things working I'll be using AppendMenuW to get 
Unicode support, but for now I'm concentrating on the basic stuff.

HMENU MyPopUpMenu;
MyPopUpMenu=CreatePopupMenu();
AppendMenu(MyPopUpMenu,MF_STRING,NULL,"Item");

However, I can't seem to figure out which function to call when I 
actually need to display the popup-menu I just created (and which I 
assume allows me to determine the coordinates of where the menu should 
appear).

Any information you can share to get met started is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Kris
