Popup menu and form method

[nevin2007]

hi all
I try to active a context menu by right clicking on a textbox.
when user click a bar of menu a method of parent form must run.the parent form name is test. i write this code in right click event of text box.all things ok when the form window type is modal but i want form be modalless and vfp show this error message " object test is not found" when menu selected. i use vfp9 sp2

can anyone help me please ?

Define Bar 1 Of cShortcut Prompt [ delete ]
On Selection Bar 1 Of cShortcut test.deleteit()
Activate Popup cShortcut

This happens because, at the time that the user clicks the menu, the object reference "test" is not available.

You need to do something like this:

LOCAL loForm 
loForm = THISFORM
DEFINE BAR .... etc. etc.

.....
ON SELECTION BAR 1 OF cShortcut loForm.DeleteIt()

I think that should do what you want.
