If it looks right, then you have solved your problem.

Sorry, what do you mean by clip exactly?

Popup windows seem to overlap the mdi frame, when I resize the mdi frame so
that
a window edge crosses the popup, I want the part of the popup outside the
window to
be masked. so it looks as if the popup is a mdichild window.

Oh dear. Just make it a child window. Then it's moved and clipped automatically.

Like a combo box?
It shows a new window when you press the button, and hides itself when
you select an option, OR it loses focus.
Same way a normal popup menu does.

There is no special window type needed.

I tried this and it wouldn't work when my control was placed in the toolbar,
it would only show a thin slither of it in the toolbar.

I removed all the clip children styles from the toolbar and parent controls
but it still didnt work.
