Recognition of different menu items

[Fixis]

Hello everyone,

Let's say I open Notepad and I click "File" on the menu and a dropdown list appears. If I click on "Edit" a different dropdown will appear. Is there a way for Autoit to find out if the "File" or "Edit" dropdown menu is currently on the screen? Thank you.

Hope this helps you.

#include <GuiMenu.au3>
While 1
   Sleep(10)
   If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then ;Makes sure not any active ContextMenu is accepted
   If WinExists("[CLASS:#32768]") Then ;Makes sure it is a ContextMenu.
   $SomeName = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenuBarInfo(WinGetHandle("[CLASS:#32768]" ), 0, 0)
   MsgBox(64,"Information about the current ContextMenu",$SomeName[0]&" - X coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[1]&" - Y coordinate of the upper left corner of the rectangle"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[2]&" - X coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[3]&" - Y coordinate of the lower right corner of the rectangle"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[4]&" - Handle to the menu bar or popup menu"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[5]&" - Handle to the submenu"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[6]&" - True if the menu bar has focus, otherwise False"&@CRLF& _
   $SomeName[7]&" - True if the menu item has focus, otherwise False"&@CRLF)
   EndIf
   EndIf
WEnd
