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
