Hello folks. I am trying to open the system menu of other applications
( like right clicking on a taskbar entry - that menu ) at a position of
my choice.

I have it working while my own application is the target, but I need to
do it for other applications as well, when I try it the menu never
shows up.

The code I have tryed ( and different variations ) is:

hMenuHandle := GetSystemMenu( Window.Handle, False );
TrackPopupMenu( hMenuHandle, TPM_LEFTALIGN, 25, 25, 0, Window.Handle,
nil );

Window.Handle is my own variable, and is the hwnd of the window I want
to get the system menu of. I checked hMenuHandle and it has a value, so
I'm guessing that part works.

The only other option I can think to get this working is using
GetMenuItem* to rebuild the menu, which I do not want to do unless I
absolutely have to.

Thank You.
