I am porting an app from VB6 to VS2005 (VB/Win Forms). It uses a context
sensitive pop up menu. You know, you right click on something and an
appropriately placed menu comes up. I can not find this control.
There a context menu, but I can't get it to come up anywhere but the upper
left.
Any help?

Upper left corner of what -- the screen? The form? The control?
The Show() method should do what you're looking for.

Thanks for the response Patrick, but no, the show method does nothing more
for me than the visible method. Both display the context menu in the upper
left hand corner of the MDI form that is the parent of the form that contains
the control. There is nothing about the Show method that sets the location
for the menu.
Even here, as I type, I can right click and see a selection of the
following choices:
Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete and Select All.
And I see this right where the mouse is currently pointing.
This is the behavior I desire.

Actually, the context menu appears in the upper left hand corner of the
screen, regardless of the MDI form.

Let 'MyControl as Control' be the control (or form) that originates the popup.
Let 'cm as ContextMenu' be the context menu that you want to pop up.
To pop up the menu near the current mouse position, try this:
cm.Show(MyContr ol, MyControl.Point ToClient(MyCont rol.MousePositi on()))
In this usage, I leave MyControl.Conte xtMenu=Nothing. In other words, cm is
built independantly of the originating form/control, and it is tied to the
form/control only when cm.Show is called.

Is it just me or this process anything but intuitive?

Some things are easy, some are really obscure. This one took me a while to
figure out - I guess about 4 hours off and on spread out over a couple of
weeks. I've been using it for a couple of years.

My simple popup menu code works in IE (Windows and Mac) but not in Safari.
I use a onmouseover ShowMenu function and a onmouseout HideMenu function.
Because Safari, unlike IE, recognises (correctly) text nodes within the
element nodes, the functions run twice as often. If the onmouseover is to or
the onmouseout is to a text node then the functions return false and do
nothing.
But because so many functions are being triggered, if the...

I am merging two menus (a and b) into a third menu (c). Menu A is created by one control, and menu b by another. Each control is responsible for updating their menuitems enabled states and so each has a popup event handler for it's associated menu. After I merge the two menus, I am only receiving the popup event for b (the last menu merged in). I want to receive both, so that I can update the menu item availability for each.

My navbar is in a frame down the left hand side of the window.
The frame is 150px wide and the navbar buttons are 100px wide.
Hovering over the buttons displays popup menus to the right of the navbar
and, being 100px wide menus, are cut off by the right hand edge of the
navbar frame.
Is it possible to make the popup menus display on top of the neighbouring
frame? If not, is there another solution?

I have run into the problem of MS seemingly dropping support for custom popup menus in Access 2007. My app heavily uses popup menus and suddenly I can not even change a typeo in a popup menu or add additional functionality.
Am I seeing this wrong or is there a way to change an existing popup menu in Access 2007?
Sheesh, first Vista, now this....... do I have ANY options here?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
