That is private to the OS's internals. Hi Gambit, don't make me nervous, please :) I found the function GetMenuItemRect which looks promising - though I have to admit that I am still fighting to come to grips with menus, and it's not clear who is going to win. Hm, I want to add some kind of tooltip to any menu a user selects, so I'd better find out where the currently active menu is situated on the screen. Do you thing there is any possibilty to achieve what I'm after? Thanks and best regards Helmut Giese
