I'm trying to get a button to normally be a boring old popup, but allow other things to be chosen by it. The natural way would seem to to change it on mousenter if the specified modifier key is down, or if the second button is clicked. I get the change to happen trivially, but if I'm doing it

Take a look at the button style, menumode and general appearance properties. I would think that you could dynamicly change the style and menu mode and general appearance. Just a thought…. -= Mike On Jun 30, 2014, at 6:25 PM, Dr. Hawkins doch...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at
