Hi Kirk, I like to create menus the user invokes with a right click for this sort of thing.
Enable the On click event in the listbox to catch it anywhere in the column (let's you create a menu with content specific to the cell, column or row clicked on) or use the On header click event to open the menu on the header. With this in place I trap the Contextual click and then draw the menu. For simple menus I use Pop up menu ( https://doc.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/Pop-up-menu.301-4504659.en.html) For more involved or hierarchical ones I just create, display and release a menu using the menu commands. Building even fairly complex menus is amazingly fast. It's easy to write a method to build and display the menu then return the result to the calling method.
