Windowless context-menu when script starts

[TheAutomator]

Hi 

I'm trying to make a small script (windowless), when you run it there needs to appear a context-menu

where the cursor is.

So if you double-click on the script file it looks like the menu appears on the script icon..

is this easy to do?

can't find an answer directly, wish i could post some code to begin with but I have no clue how to start this 

Can i use $hMenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu(-1) for this with no window?

dll calls are welcome to if it's not possible the simple way

Like always,

thanks in advance!

It must either be associated with the GUI window in it's entirety or to a single Ctrl. That is using GUICtrlCreateContextMenu though, and I don't have any knowledge of a workaround.

Hopefully someone with more experience/knowledge will chime in.

#NoTrayIcon
Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1)

Global $hGui = GUICreate("Dummy Gui", 0, 0, -200, -200, -1, 0, WinGetHandle(AutoItWinGetTitle()))
GUISetState()

Global $Context = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu(GUICtrlCreateDummy())
Global $OptionsOpen = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Open", $Context)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, '_Hello')
Global $OptionsClose = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Close", $Context)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $Context)
Global $OptionsExit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Exit", $Context)

TrackPopupMenu($hGui, GUICtrlGetHandle($Context), MouseGetPos(0), MouseGetPos(1))

; Show at the given coordinates (x, y) the popup menu (hMenu) which belongs to a given GUI window (hWnd)
Func TrackPopupMenu($hWnd, $hMenu, $x, $y)
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "TrackPopupMenuEx", "hwnd", $hMenu, "int", 0, "int", $x, "int", $y, "hwnd", $hWnd, "ptr", 0)
EndFunc   ;==>TrackPopupMenu

Func _Hello()
    MsgBox(0, "Hello", "How are you?")
EndFunc

guess it was not possible the simple way ^^

that's an interesting workaround, thanks for that!
