Size of floating pop-up menu

Is there any way to determine the size of a floating pop-up menu?

[What I *really* want is to be able to detect when the user clicks
outside the menu, or presses the escape key, without having
to deduce that fact from the absence of a WM_COMMAND message.

Despite what the help for CWnd::OnMenuSelect says, I get a
WM_SELECTMENU message with a fuFlags parameter of 0xFFFF
and a NULL hmenu parameter regardless of whether the user clicked
on or off the menu].

Michael,

Try WM_ENTERMENULOOP, WM_EXITMENULOOP. Help for WM_MENUSELECT says:

If the fuFlags parameter contains 0xFFFF and the hmenu parameter contains
NULL, Windows has closed the menu. 

It does not matter whether the menu was canceled or not.
