POPUP PROBLEM

[andy0923]

I have a menu which contains 1 popup which calls a second which in turn calls a third and forth popup - all through define and activate popups (relative)

I need to know the prompt() of the second popup while the cursor is showing the fourth popup

If I use selection popup to call a procedure to save the second or third popup prompt, when the fourth popup is called, it does not remember the location of the other popups (as it should with the keyword relative) and displays at 1,1 which is not what I want.

The four popups work fine without the procedure but then i cant save the earlier popup selections.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Im not sure if this wouold solve the problem but is there away to get muliple commands in an "on selection popup" satement?

Can I ask why you're doing this? This sounds like a pretty tough interface to use. There's been research that submenus within menus are extremely difficult for users to navigate.

All that said, check on the ON EXIT commands. They're documented as backward compatibility, but they give you an extra event during menu processing.

Would you believe that I just stumbled accross the ON EXIT commands being able to work along with on Bar().

They work with on Bar(). Using Barprompt() together with the ON EXIT solved the problem. Thanks so much.

You may be correct regarding the research. However for such a prematurely senile guy like me [grin], it does help with recall and organization.
