#include <GuiMenu.au3>
_GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup ( [$iStyle = $MNS_CHECKORBMP] )
| $iStyle | [optional] Style of the menu. It can be one or more of the following values: $MNS_AUTODISMISS - Menu automatically ends when mouse is outside the menu for 10 seconds $MNS_CHECKORBMP - The same space is reserved for the check mark and the bitmap (default) $MNS_DRAGDROP - Menu items are OLE drop targets or drag sources $MNS_MODELESS - Menu is modeless $MNS_NOCHECK - No space is reserved to the left of an item for a check mark $MNS_NOTIFYBYPOS - Menu owner receives a WM_MENUCOMMAND message instead of a WM_COMMAND message for selections |
| Success: | The handle to the newly created menu. |
| Failure: | 0. |
Menu resources that are assigned to a window are freed automatically. If the menu is not assigned to a window, an application must free system resources associated with the menu before closing.
An application frees menu resources by calling the _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu() function.
$MNS_NOTIFYBYPOS is a menu header style and has no effect when applied to individual sub menus
