Ton,

Although you have given up, you might want to consider this, which seems to work in a simple test stack.

The flimsy part of this is that you need to know the height of a menuitem in your popup, and I don't know a way to get this programmatically. I did a screenshot and measured it at 17 pixels on XP here.

The offset of the popup topleft sets the last selection under the mouse when the menu pops up, and I find that highlights it.

--card script
on mousedown
  put max(field "num",1) into tn
  popup btn "testpop" at mouseh()-8,(mousev()-8-((tn-1)*17))
end mousedown

--script of popup button "testpop"
on menupick
  put the menuhistory of me into field "num"
end menupick

## My test stack has a field "num" which holds the
## last menuhistory of btn "testpop"
## just for testing purposes of course

Not working either... I give up, will probably switch to another kind of menu...

Thanks anyway!

Just one more!

Try this:

      select line fGetMenuItem(fld "TestField") of the text of me

About 1000 to 1 odds on it working tho!

All the Best

Unless I misunderstood what you ment, it doesn't work...

I have a button on the card of type "pop up" named "TestMenu"
This button has got 10 lines of text, which creates a menu of 10  items.
I have one field on the card named "Test"

The button contains the following code:
    on mouseDown
      select line fGetMenuItem(fld "TestField") of me
    end mouseDown

    ON menupick vChoice
      put vChoice into fld "TestField"
      set the menuHistory of me to fGetMenuItem(fld "TestField")
    END menupick

    FUNCTION fGetMenuItem vMenuItemName
      put the text of button "TestMenu" into vMenuText
      put lineOffset(vMenuItemName,vMenuText) into vMenuItem
      return vMenuItem
    END fGetMenuItem

and the result: The menu just pops up with item 1 underneath the cursor :-(


Any more suggestions?

Ton

Have you tried:

select line GetMeniItem("theMenuString") of me

This may work.
