In Visual Basic 2-6, we've been stuck with the same Menu Editor. If you want to popup a menu in your app, you have to define it first in the Menu Editor. But what if want to create a Popup menu on the fly? You are out of luck.

Brian Yule has created a well-modularized all API method for creating Popup menus at any time in your app. To bring up a menu you code is this simple:

    Set popupMenu = New BX_MNU.popupMenu

    Call popupMenu.AddStringMenuItem("One", 0)
    Call popupMenu.AddStringMenuItem("Two", 1)
    Call popupMenu.AddStringMenuItem("Three", 2)
    Call popupMenu.AddSeparatorMenuItem
    Call popupMenu.AddStringMenuItem("Four", 3)
    
    Call popupMenu.ShowPopupMenu

Hi Brian,
I'm trying to integrate your menufile builder into my app but am unable to compile the dlls due to a binary erorr. BX_MWA does not have a binary compatible file set. is the error. Any ideas?

Regards
Richard

Richard,

In project properties for BX_MWA, set the binary compatibility and then compile just that project. After that you can easily recompile your entire project.
