RichEdit CONTEXTMENU Cursor Fix

if your having trouble with the RichEdit control not displaying the proper cursor during a right click contextmenu, here is the fix for it...

Code:

---

////the message handler
    case WM_SETCURSOR:
    {
        if(m_bMenuOpen)
        {
            HCURSOR m_hArrow = LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW);
            ::SetCursor(m_hArrow);
            return TRUE;
        }
        break;
    }
////////////////////////


///the menu function...
    m_bMenuOpen = TRUE;
    TrackPopupMenu(hMenu,0,pt.x,pt.y,0,m_hWnd,NULL);
    m_bMenuOpen = FALSE;
///////////////////////////

the standard ::SetCursor does not work for the RichEdit controls, figured this would help some people out doing searches on here, I know I found nothing on the net or during searches on here on the subject

Hello, 12oclocker. I signed up for this forum just so I could make this post!! :)
Firstly: THANK YOU! I was just wondering why SetCursor was not working...!
I was completely unaware I needed to return TRUE as opposed to returning nothing at all.

There appears to be a slight lack of information when it comes to the Win32 API and MSDN. :(
