RE: [ROOT] dialog boxes in Win32

Vareri,

 I'm afraid my question was unclear.  I do not want to generate the
pop-up dialog in response to a click on a displayed object. Instead,
I am asking if my executing code could somehow utilize the same
code ROOT uses when it displays dialogs in response to context menu
clicks.  I hope this is more clear...

Thanks,
Ed
