C++ Win32 Creating a Popup Menu From Resource - c++

Question

I am trying to load a popup "right click" menu, and use the resource file to define the menu items. The picture shows what is happening when I right click, it displays room for 2 items, which is correct, but doesnt show any text.
In the .cpp:
POINT pt;
pt.x = LOWORD (lParam);
pt.y = HIWORD (lParam);
ClientToScreen (hwnd, &pt);
HMENU hMenu = LoadMenu(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_POPUPMENU));
TrackPopupMenu (hMenu, TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, pt.x, pt.y, 0, hwnd, NULL);
and the resource:
IDR_POPUPMENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
MENUITEM "test", IDM_TEST
MENUITEM "Close", IDM_CLOSE
END
any idea on what I am donig wrong?
Thanks.
EDIT: I just tested, and clicking in the "no text displayed" areas, and it sends the correct message. What could be causing it to not display the text?

Answer 1

Found the solution:
HMENU hMenu = LoadMenu(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_POPUPMENU));
hMenu = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0);
and resource:
IDR_POPUPMENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
POPUP "TEST"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Test", IDM_TEST
MENUITEM "Close", IDM_CLOSE
END
END
Just had to start the resource entry with a beginning sub menu, TEST does not display, only its menu items do.

Answer 2

Your menu resource is incorrect. It must be a popupmenu.
eg:
IDR_MENU_TRAY MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "ContextMenu"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "ShowWindow", ID_POPUP_SHOWWINDOW
MENUITEM "Exit", ID_POPUP_EXIT
END
END
TrackPopupMenu first parameter is a handle to a submenu associated with an existing menu item.
