I have been trying all morning and cannot get this to work, i want the main menu (click on circle thing) that has multiple choices at the moment i get the dropdown list but the items on the right i cant seem to link to the item on the left if that makes sense?
Ie. In Word if you highlight Print Button you get different options as to if you highlight the Save button?
Any suggestions if you can understand my waffle :)
Im afraid i havent understood ur question correctly
But what i've understood so far is that you want to get more options when you are selecting particular option as in word when you highlight the print button three more options i.e. Print, QuickPrint and PrintPreview are available. If you want to do that you have to make that a popup menu tool instead of button tool and put the pop menu tool items in that popup menu tool.
e.g. if you Word's Print like thing then you have to do this click [Insert New Tool]. In the New Tool window from ToolType dropdown select Popup Menu and press Add. Now u'll see a popupMenu with an arrow, click that popupmenu you will notice a menu popping on the right it has also [Insert New Tool], now u can add other tools in that popup menu by clicking the [Insert New Tool].
Simply you have to put popupmenu tool on the menu instead of button tool
I hope your questions are answered now
wayhay! easy when someone shows you the way :) Now i done that any way of setting the size of the popup menu ?
Hmm, i have added my controls to it but it still small only one item is displayed along with scrollbar button. Is there a property to set or flag?
See screenshot...
btw you are very helpful
Thnks,
This is because you have only two Items added in the main Menu i.e. Manage and Exit. The size of the Manage popup menu is dependent on the Main Menu. As you will add more items in the Main Menu you will see the Manage popup menu also increasing in size.
grrr thats annoying, not your fault but thanks for you help you have been great!
Ur most Welcome

Yes, the popup menu will auto size based on its contents. The only exception to this is when the popup menu is in the left side of the application menu. According to the Office 2007 UI Guidelines, menus sited on this side of the application menu must have a drop down which is the exact size of the right side and positioned over it. You can sort of work around this by adding LabelTool instances with no caption to the left side of the application menu under your two tools. This will increase the height of the application menu and as a result, the height of the popup menu's drop down will be increased as well.
