Hi,
I need to have a popup menu on a window that allows hierarchical
popup menus (RB55)
I don't think I can use a RB PopupMenu because it doesn't do
hierarchical sub-menus, nor does it allow me to intercept the click
before the menu is popped up (or does it?)
I know I can use HeirPop as it allows hierarchical popup menus and
works on Win32 and MacOS 9 and X.
I need something on the dialog for a User to click to get the
hierarchical popup menus.
I don't want to invent a new widget. It can't surprise/confuse my
users. They are busy people and they know what a popup menu looks
like and does.
So I thought I would draw an OS theme aware PopupMenu in a canvas
and handle the HierPop hierarchical Popup menus there.
That is fine but how do I paint the OS theme aware image of the
Popup into the Canvas in RB code?

You can use Appearance Manager or HIToolbox calls to draw a popup
menu into a Canvas. But perhaps you'll find it easier to use a
REALbasic PopupMenu widget. You can show the menu in the MouseDown
event handler, returning true to prevent the menu from doing what it
usually does.
