I'm not sure if this is what you need but take a look at this zip file.  In particular you'll want to look at the menu resource (IDR_MNU_MAIN) in the main.rc file and then the Main_OnCommand function in main.c

Hope it helps...

Try this one.  Click on the "Games" menu choice and see how that works.  That is what I orginally thought you needed.  Then click on "More Games" to see how the Popup menu works.  In the source you'll see the functions CreatePopupMenu, AppendMenu and TrackPopupMenu used.  You will probably want to use some logic to position the popup rather than the hard-coded coordinates I used for the example.

**I'm just getting back into c and Windows programming after a long time.  I'm probably making mistakes but I hope this gets you closer to what you want.**
