TrackPopupMenu(), menu rect

[Banner]

I am calling TrackPopupMenu() for a popup menu. I need to know what the
menu size and position (the menu rect) will be when TrackPopupMenu() is
called. I essentially wish that I had the source code to TrackPopupMenu() so
that I could break it into two pieces, the first would get far enough that
the "rect" would be known, then I could do my other processing, and then
perform the remainder of the TrackPopupMenu() processing.

This seems like a tough one.

I don't really know, but you could investigate owner-drawn menus and CMenu::DrawItem

No promises in general, and certainly since I have no idea what your 'other
processing' entails, but you might look into WM_ENTERIDLE/MSGF_MENU. The
LPARAM appears to be the HWND of the popup menu's window and you might could
get the info you're after using GetWindowRect.
