Instead of reacting to WM_LBUTTONDOWN for a menu, you should instead listen for the WM_COMMAND notification. Windows takes care of all the details of handling mouse movement and clicks within menus.

The WM_CONTEXTMENU message is what you should use, not WM_COMMAND or WM_LBUTTONDOWN.

The WM_CONTEXTMENU notification is for a right click (or Shift+F10 or the context menu key), not for a left click as the original question requested.

I can't suggest any more than I already have unless you post some of your source code.
To work with menu/submenu there is a totally different WMs is Look in MSDN for this WM_MENUSELECT for example

Sorry dude, but if this ""The WM_MENUSELECT message is sent to a menu's owner window when the user selects a menu item."" from msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646352(VS.85).aspx do not work for you (even thought it works for others) I can't help you more :))
