Par2: Adding popup menu items
1998-12-10 -- Shawn Mason
 
>>Hi, could you let me know how to add choices to the popup updates, I WILL
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT !!!<<

There are two similar methods that will do this.  One is the popup.additem
method the other is the popup.additemmimic method.  They do the same thing
in that they add an item to a popup.  The difference comes in how they are
implemented (for a complete description look in the manuals under the PopUp
Class).  You must add an event for the "additem" method.  For the
"additemmimic" simply add a button on the screen (you can even hide it) and
reference its USE variable.  This will make the popup choice do whatever the
button does.  I use the latter method for several reasons.  1) I find it
easier to implement. 2) I hide the button and place in smack-dab on my
listbox control.  When I am looking at source I instantly know that there is
a hidden popup for this listbox and I even know the name of it.  The code is
under the embed for the button.  It makes coding easier and a little
cleaner.
