Triggering the Context Menu

[Supra]

What I want to do is open the DEFAULT context menu in IE6 through code. I'd like to be able to press the space bar and have the context menu open, rather than right-click. I've tried searching in the forums for this but the results were inconclusive. If anyone can offer a working solution I'd very much appreciate it. Any help I find useful in any way will be marked as a helpful post. Thanks!

Not possible. The context menu, like all the other menus is part of the browser and not exposed to the Document Object Model. You could however, build a menu using DHTML that mimicked the context menu. That way you could build even more functionality into the menu.

Yeah I'm aware of the DHTML menus, but that's not what I'm going for. I just figured if you can use ShowBrowserUI to open the Favorites dialog, why not have access to the context menu as well? Thanks anyway dwarf

ShowBrowserUI only works for dialog boxes, not menus.
