Popupmenu has an OnPopup event which fires when the popup menu opens.
You could use that to set a var indicating that the menu is open.  You
can close any popup menu as Peter told you, or also using:
  Postmessage(Form.Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, 0, 0);
  Postmessage(Form.Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONUP, 0, 0);

However, there is no ready-made way for you to know if the popup menu
is still open when you need to ask that question, i.e. you do not get
informed when the popup menu closes.

I have written a PopupMenuCatcher component which tells you via an
event when a (any) popup menu opens and also when any popupmenu
closes.
Would that be useful to you?
