There is a well-known bug in the OS that causes such code to not dismiss the 
menu correctly if the user clicks outside the menu without selecting an 
item.  To workaround that bug, you have to use this code instead:

    case WM_RBUTTONDOWN:
    {
        TPoint PopupPoint;
        GetCursorPos(&PopupPoint);
        SetForegroundWindow(Handle); // <-- add this
        PopupMenu->Popup(PopupPoint.x,PopupPoint.y);
        PostMessage(Handle, WM_NULL, 0, 0); // <-- add this
        break;
    }

The user has to click somewhere outside the menu (once the above fix is in 
place).
