I would do this using the ABC popup Class. In your local data declare an
object of the popup class:
MyPopup &PopupClass
Then in the Window Manager's Init Method
MyPopup &= New PopupClass
MyPopup.Init()
Then add the items to the popup to do whatever you need the popup to do.
MyPopup.AddItem('Do Something',DoSomething)
or
MyPopup.AddItemEvent('Do This',Event:MyEvent,)
In the Window Manager's TakeKey method:
If Keycode() = MouseRight
IF Field() = ?MyTextField
MyPopup.Ask()
End
End
Then in the Window Manager's Kill method:
MyPopup.Kill
For more info on the various methods see the Application Handbook.
