I don't believe that there really is a popup tigger inside
the table. The table simply synthesizes its appearance and
behavior.
It is fairly direct to catch the table select and popup
your own list off of a table select. The following code
snippet should give you the idea:
TblUnhighlightSelection(tbl);
// move the list to the item's position
TblGetItemBounds(tbl, row, col, &bounds);
lst = TblGetItemPtr(tbl, row, col);
LstSetPosition(lst, bounds.topLeft.x, bounds.topLeft.y);
// fetch prior selection & give it to the list
sel = TblGetItemInt(tbl, row, col);
LstSetSelection(lst, sel);
// pop it up
sel = LstPopupList(lst);
// reset things
TblSetItemInt(tbl, row, col, sel);
TblMarkRowInvalid(tbl, row);
TblRedrawTable(tbl);
This assumes that you have set up the list earlier
and stored its pointer in the table, and that you
use the table's item int for the selection. You
can use a custom draw procedure to fetch the selection
and format and draw it as you like.
