i'm curious what some of the different ways to create a popup menu are... so far it just seems to be a combobox... but i'm wondering if there's anyway to make a label or maybe a command button do a popup menu?

Teaboy 05-27-2004, 09:39 AM You can create a popup menu on anything. PopupMenu mnuName, , , mnuNameDefault F2 is your friend :) Wizzy 05-27-2004, 09:45 AM i'll try to figure that out i hit F2 and i have no idea what anything in that menu means. Teaboy 05-27-2004, 09:48 AM F2 opens the Object Browser thingie in VB. :D Teaboy 05-27-2004, 09:51 AM See Attached Wizzy 05-27-2004, 09:55 AM man am i ever confused. the sample makes sense, thanks - but what i don't get is where the menu comes from. All you had for code was "PopupMenu mnuPopup, , , , yay" but somehow it has all those options - but i didn't see them anywhere in the code :\ where did they come from? Wizzy 05-27-2004, 10:03 AM i think i figured it out you simply made an actual menu - but made it so it wasn't Visible right? then the Menu As Object part is just the name of the menu... then the Default menu is what menu is automatically shows when it first comes up? is that right>? Abdhul 05-27-2004, 10:25 AM If you wan't to get real involved - and create a popup for anything, anywhere on your form, using either left or right or middle mouse button, use the API method. If you don't have it, get the API guide from www.ALLAPI.net here: http://www.mentalis.org/agnet/appdown.shtml install the program and look for popup, it is a little bit of work to code, but well worth it. If you can't figure it out, let me know and I'll post a sample. cerimar 05-27-2004, 10:28 AM dont... you can call popupmenu anytime. and you can set x and y to anywhere. it has all functiality, as far as i know. just use the events Abdhul 05-27-2004, 10:33 AM to each their own I suppose...

Yes :) Untick the parent menu's Visible checkbox to make it invisible. 'yay' was the name of the default menu, the one that comes up bold. 'mnuPopup' was the parent menu |
