Say, if I display a popup context menu using TrackPopupMenu() API with TPM_RETURNCMD flag. While the context menu is displayed I need to see if Shift or Ctrl key is pressed on the keyboard and depending on that update some menu items from the context menu. Is that possible?
This is not a standard user experience for the platform that you’re developing on. I know that I would be annoyed by such behavior. It is standard on the Windows platform to press the meta key before opening the menu. For example, holding shift while right-clicking an item in Explorer provides a modified context menu (e.g., “Open with…” or “Open in new process”).
Follow the platform conventions. I don’t expect an application on a Mac to behave like one on Windows and I don’t expect an application on Windows to behave like one on a Mac. If you don’t respect the conventions, you risk a large community of annoyed users. [See Lotus Notes, SAP]
