I already know how to handle the menuitem when it is selected. Thanks.

I have a Pop-Up menu, it works well, no problem, but what I want is that when the menu is displayed, when a menuitem is highlighted (not clicked) the tag is displayed in the TextArea1. Currently, what happens is that I have to click on the menuitem then the tag is displayed in the text area. I am not sure that I am explaining it correctly, so I have uploaded the project so that you can see what I mean. It can be downloaded here... http://www.mediafire.com/?a639afofsct2qqu Is what I am trying to do possible? Thanks again.

But it seems that none of the events of a Popup Menu will fire ONCE the menu is exposed, other than CHANGE Priort to the MOUSEDOWN, all the other events (MouseMove etc) do fire... So it looks like this cannot be done as there is no exposed event, nor anyway that I can see to create an exposed event. _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top lenpartico Post subject: Re: Pop-Up Menu mouse-over itemPosted: Sat May 05, 2012 8:43 pm Joined: Fri Sep 30, 2005 10:49 pm Posts: 436 Thanks Dave, When the mouse goes over the menuitem the menuitem is highlighted. If, somehow, at the time of that highlighting of the menuitem the tagging of the menuitem into TextArea1 could be executed, then it would be possible, but my knowledge is lacking.

So in a word. No it cannot be done.... at least not with the Standard RS supplied popup menu. _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX 10.7.3 RB2011r3 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top lenpartico Post subject: Re: Pop-Up Menu mouse-over itemPosted: Sat May 05, 2012 9:15 pm Joined: Fri Sep 30, 2005 10:49 pm Posts: 436 Thanks Dave.
