 |
|
BCB5 XP
Hi, simple problem, I think. I have a popup that is not closing after
clicking the menu item. It's on a 3rd party control and I think I just need
to force it to close after it's done with it's action, or before it's
action. Any ideas?
Thx

Are you displaying the PopupMenu yourself, via its Popup() method? If so,
then you should be calling SetForegroundWindow() before calling Popup(). If
the control is displaying the PopupMenu, then it should be calling
SetforegroundWindow() before calling Popup().
Why do this? Please there is a nasty bug in the OS that has been around for
years without being fixed, where a popup menu is not dismissed properly if
shown from a window that does not have proper focus.

<<Why do this?>>
Are you asking me? This window happens to be the only form in the
application, I'm not sure how to give it more focus than that.
