Re: Control or right click to show popup menu
Hi. On a new card make a field and a pulldown menu button. Place a few lines of text in the field and lock it. In the field script: on mouseUp set the loc of btn 1 to the mouseloc click at the mouseLoc end mouseUp The menu opens at the line clicked on. This has been discussed extensively in the forums, if you want to search there. That discussion mainly dealt with loading the contents of the button with the field contents, or the selection of a particular menuItem once the menu itself was open.

Re: Control or right click to show popup menu
Why does this make me have a funny feeling you are still using a one-button mouse on a Macintosh? Certainly, I would stick with on mouseDown MN if MN is 3 then . . . Best, Richmond.

Maybe I’m doing this wrong. In my application, how do make this work: the user holds down the control key or right click to do editing via choices provided by some kind of popup menu?
