Am I just missing some easy way ?
Can you just change the style of the button from "menu" to "standard" or
something like that? This way it will actually *be* a regular button and
will get the mouseup, etc. messages but won't get menuPick...
Thanks Ken, but I don't think that's the way to go .... it might be
possible to do it that way, but Martin's suggestion looks like the
easier approach.

Not clear whether you are using the popup command already, but if not,
that might help. Using this you can test whatever you want before
issuing the command that invokes the popup, something like (in a
regular mouseup button, locked field etc.) :
I wasn't. I remembered it, but somehow failed to make the connection to
using it in this case. The docs even say
Comments:
Use the popup command in a mouseDown handler to display the menu.
The popup menu appears with its top left corner at the location. If no
location is specified, the menu's top left corner is at the mouse
location. While the popup menu is displayed, the handler pauses.
so that's what I'm doing. I now have a regular button, with a mouseDown
handler which decides whether to pop-up or not.
The only odd thing is that when I depress the mouse button, I get a
mouseDown to my button, and when it does the "popup" I immediately get a
"mouseUp" to my main button - even though the mouse button is still
depressed. When the mouse button is released, that is taken by the popup
button, and therefore doesn't go to the original button. So I guess this
ensures that the mouseDown and mouseUp events stay symmetric- but it was
a surprise.
I would have added this to Web Notes entry or "popup", but that option
isn't available (grayed out). I remember this was mentioned a while ago,
but don't remember any conclusion - is adding to web notes disabled ??
