Applying a Popup Menu |
|
Popups can be associated with a specific control via the Panel Designer. You can also apply a popup menu to the Panel Header so that right clicking the mouse pointer on any blank area on the panel will launch a popup.
To enable a popup menu for a panel control, select the object for editing. If the control supports popups, a Popup Menu design property will be displayed. For example, when creating or editing a Multi-Line control, a Popup Menu button displays at the bottom of the Multi-Line Properties dialogue.
Select the Popup Menu button to access the Assign Popup Menu dialogue.
