pop up menus
|
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?

You can create a popup menu on anything.
Code:
PopupMenu mnuName, , , mnuNameDefault
F2 is your friend  |

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?

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>?

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. |

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 |
