Unable to get handler of Context Menu

[saurabh]

In my application Context Menu is appeared only after right click mouse in current form it’s not the permanent child of current form so I am unable to get the control by FindChild(). I am doing right mouse click by this code. I am working in VS2003 using RanorexNet.dll.

form = Application::FindFormTitle("Alarm manager",Ranorex::SearchMatchMode::MatchExact,true,5000);
Mouse::MoveToControl(form);
Mouse::ButtonDown(MouseButtonType::RightButton);
Mouse::ButtonUp(MouseButtonType::RightButton);

Now my context menu has appeared and there is no control showing by Ranorex Spy. So I can not use FindContolName() as mentioned in VS2005Application. Only Element role and name is there.

To understand my problem better like if you want to automate to get display property window of your desktop through Ranorex then you have to do following steps
1.Mouse right click on your desktop window
2.Now Popup Context Menu will appear
3.Now go to the properties item in Popup Context Menu
4.Click on properties item
5.now Display Properties window has opened.
If you will simultaneously observe the control and element value for each step through Ranorex spy. You will find when you would do right click ,Popup Context Menu will appear with Element Role: window and Name:context.
Now go to the properties Item it will appear with Element Role:MenuItem and Name:Properties.
Now I want to click on properties so it should open Display Properties Window for your Desktop.I have written following in the continuation of above code but it is not working:

Element *context = form->Element->FindChild(Ranorex::Role::Window, "Context");
Element *MenuItem1 = form->Element->FindChild(Ranorex::Role::MenuItem , "Hide Controls");
Mouse::MoveToElement(MenuItem1 );
Mouse::ClickElement(MenuItem1 );

Note:Here “Hide Controls” is one of the Menu item of Popup Context Menu in my application here you can replace this with Menu Item “Properties “

Please provide me correct code ASAP. Its argent.
Thanks in Advance!

A context menu is a top-level window and not a child of a Form or Windows application.
You can popup a context menu and select an item as follows:
