Pocket PC Context menu in a dialog and GN_CONTEXTMENU

eVC++ 4.0 IDE ClassWizard allows me to add the event handler for OnContextMenu()
However that does not appear to work on the PocketPC as it does in normal Windows.

I found this article with code for adding a context menut to a control http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/contextmenu.html and it works OK.

However I would like to add a Context menu to the main dialog and need some help handling the GN_CONTEXTMENU message.

ON_NOTIFY(GN_CONTEXTMENU, OnContextMenu) produces a compiler error warning C4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'ON_NOTIFY'

Just how would I handle the GN_CONTEXTMENU message in the main dialog ?

OK GN_CONTEXTMENU is not handled directly, in fact it is handled in OnLButtonDown();

void CPopupTestDlg::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
       SHRGINFO shrgi = {0};

shrgi.cbSize = sizeof(SHRGINFO);
shrgi.hwndClient = m_hWnd;
shrgi.ptDown.x = point.x;
shrgi.ptDown.y = point.y;
shrgi.dwFlags = SHRG_RETURNCMD;


      if(::SHRecognizeGesture(&shrgi) == GN_CONTEXTMENU)
      {
DoContextMenu(point);
      }
else
      {
Default();
      }
}
