I have an Ultra Toolbars Manager that has a selection set up as a popup menu. This is not a menu per se but rather a status grid that displays error conditions based on the context of other selections. You click an item in the grid, and then click the menu button and the status items for that selection show up. When you click off the popup it goes away. All of that is working just fine.
What I want to be able to do, and haven’t figured out, is have the popup menu stay put (not close) under certain conditions. In particular, one of the things the user can do is update notes on the items displayed. To do this the item is opened in a dialog box. If the user edits items in the dialog box, clicks the OK or cancel buttons, everything works fine. However, if they click off the dialog both the popup menu and the dialog disappear. Is there a way to force the popup menu to remain open until the dialog closes?
Thanks
Hello Randall,
What you could do is to create an 'UserControl' and "give" it to a 'PopupControlContainerTool'. You could customize the 'UserControl' the way you want, this opens a lot of doors.
I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.
We figured it out. We set the selection so it could not be hidden if there was a child dialog present.
