Hide Popupmenu

[MZwijacz]

I have an app(appmenu) that is called from another app(appcaller). Appcaller does not allow cascading context menus. So the sole purpose of my app(appmenu) is to provide additional menus.

I can pop my menus just fine and execute the code. However I cannot cancel the menus. The problem seems to be there is no form that shows, to catch the esc key.

How can I cancel a popupmenu without a form showing ? The menus continue to show, even on top of other apps until I click an item.

Thanks,

Can you reference the form with the menu? If so then you could set the focus to the form to remove it from the menu I.e.:

frmAppMenu.SetFocus

TomGuy,

I'll give it a try. But the form is just a container for the menu. It is never to be seen. The only reason to have the form is to hold the menu. If I could create the menu without the form I would have, unfortunatly not allowed in VB 6.

Any Ideas without making the form visable ? ;using code ?

Thanks,
MFZ

Last item in menu being Cancel Menu. Like the crystal reports have.

Just a thought

Good Luck

Yep that's what I ended up doing. I would have liked it to be more elegant. Similar to the standard, esc to cancel the menu.
