How to enable popoup menu items in an ActiveX control

Hello,

I created a simple AxctiveX control which would change its color in response to popup menu. I dynamically created a menu in the function

C++

OnContextMenu

of the control. The problem is, if i call

C++

TrackPopupMenu()

, passing 'this' as a

C++

Cwnd*

, the popup commands are not enabled. Can someone please explain where I am going wrong? Is there something in the implementation of

C++

COleControl

that overrides the behavior of

C++

CWnd

that allows a Popup to function? If so - can i change it?

I am using VC 2008

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help ...
