CoolMenu

How to popup a menu as the mouse moves over a hotspot.

This sample is sort of a combination of the PopHwnd and CoolTool samples. It destroys and pops up menus as the mouse moves over a hotspot on a "toolbar". The application is hooked before PopupMenu is called so that the handle (and thus the RECT) of the new popup menu can be obtained.
