Solitary Menu

[godsstigma]

I am still very new to AutoIt and I have not scripted with it in a while so forgive me if this is a stupid question:

How can I create a solitary menu that can be opened anywhere on the screen?

I have searched the help file,the forum, and the UDFs but all I can find are functions to create a menu/context menu attached to a GUI.

Is there anyway to create a stand alone menu without being attached to a GUI?

Yellow there!!

What is exactly your needs ?

A menu is always attached to a window anyway !!!

Are you looking for something like this :

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiMenu.au3>

Global Enum $idNew = 1000

Local $hGui = GUICreate("Yellow!",100,20,100,100,-1,BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW,$WS_EX_TOPMOST))
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_Quit")

Local $hFile = _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu()
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ($hFile, 0, "&New", $idNew)

; Create Main menu
Local $hMain = _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu ()
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ($hMain, 0, "&File", 0, $hFile)

; Set window menu
 _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenu ($hGUI, $hMain)

GUISetState()
Opt("GuiOnEventMode",1)

While 1

    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Well,

Good luck !!!

Thanks.

This is still attached to a GUI though. I am looking for a way to create a free floating menu like in this app: http://www.autohotkey.net/~rexx/FolderMenu/index.en.htm

Just check out some screen shots.

Any possible way in AutoIt?
