position a shortcut menu...

[Neil Toulouse]

Hi folks!

I am trying to be very specific (to the pixel) about where I position a shortcut menu, but seem to be getting tied in knots around foxels and pixels!

I know I can get the current mouse position in foxels with MROW()/MCOL(), which will give me the top-left origin for the shortcut menu, but I need it appear at a specific position, not at the mouse pointer.

The DEFINE POPUP statement FROM clause seems to be expecting foxels, which is basically my problem!

Therefore is there a way of converting an object's TOP property (pixel value) to a foxel value, or a way of making the FROM clause accept pixel values?

TIA
Neil

Typically sorted it (to an extent) after posting!

Basically, before calling the menu I change the SCALEMODE property of the form to 0 (foxels), take the TOP value of the object I am concerned with (now in foxels) and pass that as a parameter to the shortcut menu for the FROM clause.

Not bang-on perfect positioning, but will do for what I need!
