Know if any new menu is open (maybe same control)

[maestro1024]

I posted this yesterday and I am not sure if I asked the question correctly.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67100

what I want to get is if a new button or menu or any sort of item is opened by the user.

I know how to see if the active window has changed but how would I for instance in notepad if a user selects File or selects View (is same control). Can Autoit get this information and what approach could I use to get it?

Thanks
