MSDN docs for CMenu:: says the lpRect argument ....

    Points to a RECT structure or CRect object that contains the screen
coordinates of a rectangle within which the user can click without
dismissing the pop-up menu. If this parameter is 0, the pop-up menu is
dismissed if the user clicks outside the pop-up menu. This must be 0 for
Windows 3.0.

I have supplied a Rect because I dont want the menu dismissed until
something is clicked. I supply the rect but the menu still gets dismissed as
if no rect was supplied, any ideas how I can get my popup menu to stick
around?
