Fengyuan, Unfortunately, the PyMOL's internal gui pop-up menu system was not designed as nor intended to be a programmers interface and is subject to change at any time. Any code which relies upon its behavior may therefore break with future versions of the software. Cheers, Warren -- DeLano Scientific LLC Subscriber Support Services mailto:supp...@delsci.com

Now, I'm wondering that if I want to implement my thought ( - left-click the C-alpha atom in the structure, there will be a PopUp window coming out with self-defined information in the Viewer window), I have to modify the source code in C-layer and compile the whole source? Am I right? Or, is there any trick to do this in Python-layer? Fengyuan On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 1:59 PM, NeO <bobop...@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Warren, How are you? I'm writing a wizard, in which I want to implement the function that when I left-click the C-alpha atom, there will be a PopUp window coming out with my defined information in the Viewer window. I can do it using 'tkMessageBox.showinfo', but I want to make it beautiful. I know that when you left-double click or right-click the protein structure, the popup menu show up. I read the source code of 'menu.py', I'm not sure in the function, the parameter 'self_cmd', what's it for? where the menu functions are called? If I figure it out, I think I can code it in my wizard. Hope you can help me :) Best Wishes Fengyuan
