ContextMenu Event (Alert Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The ContextMenu event is fired when an item in an Alert Banner's context menu is selected.

DispId 0x03

Syntax
void OnContextMenu(short winID, short menuID, short position);

The ContextMenu syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
winID	A short integer containing the window ID of the banner containing the menu.
menuID	A short integer containing the menu ID of the menu containing the selected item.
position	A short integer containing the position of the selected menu item. Position is one-based.

Remarks
The context menu is the menu that appears when you right click in the background of an Alert Banner. You can turn it on or off by setting the ContextMenuEnabled property. The context menu is initially empty; you add your preferred menu items to it using the ContextMenuItem methods.

The menuID parameter indicates whether to address the main context menu or a submenu. The menuID of the main context menu is always 0. The menuID of a submenu is returned when the submenu is created with AppendContextMenuSubmenu or InsertContextMenuSubmenu. Note that this menuID has no relation to any ID used by the Windows API.
