ExPopupList.pas by Peter Below from "missing TPopupMenu features?" at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/borland.public.delphi.winapi/1L47R-u_MOA

In D5 there is finally a method to detect when the menu was closed without a selection (i.e. none of the menuitem OnClick handlers fired). Add the unit below to your project and the form the popup menu is on will receive the custom messages defined in the unit when the menu appears or closes.

unit ExPopupList;
interface
uses Controls;
const
CM_MENUCLOSED = CM_BASE - 1;
CM_ENTERMENULOOP = CM_BASE - 2;
CM_EXITMENULOOP = CM_BASE - 3;
implementation
uses Messages, Forms, Menus;
Type
TExPopupList = class( TPopupList )
protected
procedure WndProc(var Message: TMessage); override;
end;
{ TExPopupList }
procedure TExPopupList.WndProc(var Message: TMessage);
Procedure Send( msg: Integer );
Begin
If Assigned( Screen.Activeform ) Then
Screen.ActiveForm.Perform( msg, Message.wparam, Message.lparam );
End;
begin
Case message.Msg Of
WM_ENTERMENULOOP: Send( CM_ENTERMENULOOP );
WM_EXITMENULOOP : Send( CM_EXITMENULOOP );
WM_MENUSELECT :
With TWMMenuSelect( Message ) Do
If (Menuflag = $FFFF) and (Menu = 0) Then
Send( CM_MENUCLOSED );
End; { Case }
inherited;
end;
Initialization
Popuplist.Free;
PopupList:= TExPopupList.Create;
// Note: will be freed by Finalization section of Menus unit.
end.
