DISCUSSION

Your application should call the InitContextualMenus function early in your startup code to register your application as a contextual menu client. If you do not register your application, some system-level functions may respond as though your application does not use contextual menus. Not registering your application may also cause ProcessIsContextualMenuClient to return an incorrect value.

If you are a 68K application, you must pass the selector gestaltContextualMenuAttr to the Gestalt function before calling the InitContextualMenus function. If the Gestalt function returns a bit field with the gestaltContextualTrapAvailable bit set, InitContextualMenus can be called; see "Contextual Menu Gestalt Selector Constants".
