Hi,

My app can asynchronously switch state. When this happens I need to close any popup menu that's active (may be in the main window, may be in a child window). This leads to 2 questions:
-1- how can I find if there's a popup menu active (and get a handle to it)
-2- how can I cancel this popup menu?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, it works indeed for VCL based popups, Unfortunately I'm using TB2/TBX based menus and that does not work.
Just incase anyone else is interested: what does work is
H := GetCapture();
if (H <> 0) then
  SendMessage(H, WM_CANCELMODE, 0, 0);

This will cancel all controls (in this app) that had the capture, but in my case that is OK,

You don't, nor do you need it.

Call the Win32 API EndMenu() function, or send a WM_CANCELMODE message to 
the menu's owner window.  If you are using a VCL menu, the owner window is 
specified in the Window property of the global "PopupList" object of the 
Vcl.Menus unit.
