Pop up Menus

[jbrowne]

Hi,

I want to create a pop up menu dynamically depending on what the user clicks on a grid. My question is as follows, can I code the contents of a pop up menu (driven from a right click event) at run time depending on what row of a grid the user selects. In other words can I pass variables to the caption property of a pop up menu and then fire the code behind the listindex of the item on the menu that the user selects?

Thanks in advance
John B

The PopUpMenu method can do it provided it is provided with a Menu object. While you can always create a hidden Menu using the Menu Editor, it seems to me to be neater if one can create an independent Menu object at run-time. If that is possible I don't know how to do it.

xbafge,
Can you elaborate more please on your answer - I don't quite follow what you are getting at.

Thanks

Make invisible mnuMyMenu menu with at least one visible mnuMySubMenu submenu. Put a flex grid with several columns and several rows and copy the code:

Private Sub MSFlexGrid1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)

mnuMySubMenu.Caption = "Row " & CStr(MSFlexGrid1.MouseRow) & " Col " & CStr(MSFlexGrid1.MouseCol)
PopupMenu mnuMyMenu
End Sub

You will get the idea.

Good luck

Yes. Presumably that mnuMyMenu was created using the Menu Editor; if it could be created using code, the solution would be more elegant.
