Beginners question regarding floating menus

[tm1975]

Hi all,

I am trying to automate clicking on an item in a floating menu which is created via a right mouse click on a listbox.

I can automate the right click via ControlClick easily enough as I can get the Control Id of the list box.

The problem is when I put the Window Spy over the menu which is brought up by the right click, the menu disappears before I can get the right Control ID information of the menu item.

Any ideas on how I could get Control Id of the menu items on the floating menu?

If that does not make sense reply and I shall try to explain better.

I am on Windows Home Premium Edition.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Found a solution - installed Windows 7 SDK and used the inspect application to get the control id. Has a mouse over feature which does not trigger the mouse over of the menu.
