I implemented owner drawing on the main and context menus of my main form.
It works fine.
There is also a notify icon control that has a context menu. When the icon
is in the status bar, it works perfectly fine when it is double-clicked.
However, when I try to initialize the notify icon's context menu as an
owner-drawn menu, all the text in that menu disappears.
Is owner drawing a notify icon's context menu possible? I saw someone else
having the same problem: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...280a%40phx.gbl
Any ideas, resources, etc., are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

You can have a context menu on a notify icon and it will work fine. What
you can't have is an owner drawn context menu because NotifyIcon doesn't
pass the DrawItem or MeasureItem events to the ContextMenu.
See KB #827043.

OK, maybe this is my opinion, maybe these are bugs.
Given the folowing:
I have a NotifyIcon on my Form, a Context menu associated with the
NotifyIcon, and a MenuItem on the ContextMenu set as default. When the
default MenuItem is clicked, there is code to no longer show the NotifyIcon.
What I feel should happen is when I double-click the NotifyIcon in the
system tray, it should perform the default menu item's Click event.

Is there a way to Owner drawn tray context menu ? - I know that there is a
bug with the custom drawing of a context menu assigned to a tray icon - but
I was hoping someone could advise me as to how to create one from scratch -
I have tried using the current cursor position to pop up a context menu that
is not assigned to a tray icon - but with no joy.. Any advice please...

I know it doesn't work. But I'm really trying to figure out is when it might
work. Does anyone from MSFT know? or perhaps anyone else in the ng know?
I have an application that is entirely run via the context menu in a
NotifyIcon and it's rather frustrating that this hasn't worked ever.
Has anyone successfully created a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Akshay

I've been working on an application which has a NotifyIcon (system tray
icon), and a corresponding ContextMenu. I want to be able to update this
menu dynamically. However, when I make changes to the menu, it seems to
disappear. This only breaks when the context menu is tied to a NotifyIcon -
not to any other control.
Below is a C# file for a form which should illustrate this (at least it does
on my machine!). The same contextmenu is...

Have a look at the code below. It's a really simple example where I
have added two controls to a form, a textbox and a combo box. Both add
owner drawn context menus to the controls, but the combobox will NOT
draw custom drawn context menu item. I have tried EVERYTHING (deriving
from MenuItem and even tried calling TrackPopupMenuEx directly), but
it just won't work!
I am currently reflecting over the combobox source code (oh joy!), but...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
