You could achieve this effect using shortcut menus that are popped-up on =
the click event of the button.
Add the property cPopupName to the button class
The button class click event could be:
Do PopupMenu with this, thisform
The popup menu could do something like (off the top of my head)
lParameters toButton, toForm
* get the location for the popup
Local lnX, lnY
lnX =3D toform.left + toButton.Left + toButton.width
lnY =3D toForm.Top + toButton.top
* pop up the menu at the row/column position defined above
This has give me an idea for a neat class. I'll get back to you shortly.
