Context Menu on Windows95 designed keyboard

Environment: VC++ 4.1, Win 95

I implement context menu like this:

void CClientsView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd, CPoint point) 
{  // make sure window is active
   GetParentFrame()->ActivateFrame();

   int nItem = GetSelectedItem();
   if (nItem != -1)
   {  CMenu menu;
      if (menu.LoadMenu(ID_POPUP_MENU))
      {  CMenu* pPopup = menu.GetSubMenu(0); ASSERT(pPopup != NULL);
         pPopup->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON,
            point.x,point.y,AfxGetMainWnd());
      }
   }
}

It works, but when I press "context menu" key on my keyboard, which is
Windows95 designed, menu appears at top left corner of the screen.

How to obtain an information about how menu was activated: by pressing a
key or by clicking right mouse button?

With best wishes, Sergey S. Zyablitskiy.

If the keyboard key is pressed, the point parameter is (-1, -1).

I'm afraid I've become some sort of speed freak.

Try this:

void CClientsView::OnContextMenu(CWnd* pWnd, CPoint point) 
	{
	if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RBUTTON) < 0)
		TRACE0("It was activated by the left button\n");
	else
		TRACE0("It was activated by keyboard (F10)\n");
	....
	}

        _,'|             _.-''``-...___..--';)  
        /_ \'.      __..-' ,      ,--...--'''   Quang Ngo

        `-';'               ;   ; ;             
  __...--''     ___...--_..'  .;.'

When the menu key is pressed, the OnContextMenu handler receives (-1, =
-1) in the 'point' argument. I usually just test whether or not the =
point lies within the window's client area.
