Charles,
I think what he had in mind was to actually have a column of popup
menu widgets in the listbox. In fact this is possible (on MacOS
X, at least), but the technique is well beyond the scope of this
list.

You are correct in what I would ideally like to have. You say that
it's possible on OS X (at this time, all client machines are Macs),
but beyond the scope of the list. Have you any pointers to others
on the web who may cover this technique? While a contextual menu
would do the job, it won't be obvious to the user that the menu is
available.
Actually, I don't know whether it has ever been done. What I would
do would be to use MacOS Appearance Manager functions to draw a
PopupMenu control into the cell, then use the MenuItem methods to
display a menu. Calling the Appearance Manager is the part that is
somewhat more advanced.
