I am currently writing a small application that works like Command Post. It adds
menus to other applications, and intercepts the menu selections for the
application concerned and does useful things with the menus it has installed.

To do this, it installs a SystemHook (WM_SYSMSGFILTER). What I want to intercept
is the appropriate WM_COMMAND message, but I never see it. The only useful
messages that I see are the WM_MENUSELECT ones. Unfortunately, when a user
cancels a menu, it looks to my program as if a menu selection was made. Is there
a different hook that I can use. Obviously there is a solution to this problem.
Otherwise Command Post wouldn't work!

All suggestion much appreciated.
