Does anyone know how to go about positioning a popup menu for a tray icon?

Here is a sample event handler (in C++) for a tray icon:

LRESULT CTrayIcon::OnTrayNotification(WPARAM wID, LPARAM lEvent)
{
if (wID!=m_nid.uID ||
(lEvent!=WM_RBUTTONUP && lEvent!=WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK))
return 0;

// If there's a resource menu with the same ID as the icon, use it as // the right-button popup menu. CTrayIcon will interprets the first // item in the menu as the default command for WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK
//
CMenu menu;
if (!menu.LoadMenu(m_nid.uID))
return 0;
CMenu* pSubMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
if (!pSubMenu)
return 0;

if (lEvent==WM_RBUTTONUP) {

// Make first menu item the default (bold font)
::SetMenuDefaultItem(pSubMenu->m_hMenu, 0, TRUE);

// Display the menu at the current mouse location. There's a "bug" // (Microsoft calls it a feature) in Windows 95 that requires calling // SetForegroundWindow. To find out more, search for Q135788 in MSDN. //
CPoint mouse;
GetCursorPos(&mouse);
::SetForegroundWindow(m_nid.hWnd);
::TrackPopupMenu(pSubMenu->m_hMenu, 0, mouse.x, mouse.y, 0, m_nid.hWnd, NULL);

} else // double click: execute first menu item
::SendMessage(m_nid.hWnd, WM_COMMAND, pSubMenu->GetMenuItemID(0), 0);

return 1; // handled
}

(I hope that has formatted ok). You can see near the bottom that the menu gets popped up at mouse.x and mouse.y (after calling getCursorPos(&mouse)).

So you should be able to get the current cursor position by doing this:

CPoint point;
GetCursorPos(&point);

the x and y position of the mouse would be point.x and point.y respectively. You should be able to add external functions to do this directly in JADE, or you could roll your own external function in C++ with those lines of code in it.

I hope this helps,
Allistar.
