There is; you can pop up a menu any time you want, as the IDE does
when you click the little triangles in the constant editor listbox,
for example.
That's not how it was coming across in the earlier reply from another
party.
But from the user's perspective, it's not a contextual menu if it's
appearing in response to something other than a contextual click
(i.e. right-click or control-left-click).
Then it wasn't a contextual menu before; with the ContextualMenu
object. As that did not require a right/control-click to get it to
show up. I had it showing up quite nicely when someone clicked in a
column of a ListBox object. It made for population of that column's
cells quite simple.
I STRONGLY recommend modifying the new ContextualMenu to provide
that sort of programming flexibility in order to allow the
programmers to make their applications as easy to understand as
they wish.
No modifications are needed for this. Just a little documentation-
reading, perhaps.
That's good to know. WHERE is the documentation that describes this
aspect of ContextualMenus better than what I've seen so far? As I
would like to get this new approach to ContextualMenus to work as
smoothly as it was with the old ContextualMenu objects.

Chuck
