Creating a popup menu in your Visual Basic program is very simple, just one line of code(within a IF statement). You usually put it in objects MouseDown procedure. First you need to create your menu using the Menu Editor. In my example, I have made the menu invisible at run-time.

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

The code to make the menu popup is:-

If Button = vbRightButton Then PopupMenu Me.mnuPopup

If you want to use the left button for the menu to popup, use vbLeftButton instead of vbRightButton.
