Hi,

I am using a drop down push button and displaying a command bar context menu when the button is clicked, using this code -

Private Sub cmdChangeStatus_Click()
Dim Popup As CommandBar

    Set Popup = gRbn.CommandBars.ContextMenus.Find(400)
    With Popup
        Select Case ebStatusCode.Value
            Case "OP": .Controls(1).Enabled = False
            Case "PA": .Controls(2).Enabled = False
            Case "PC": .Controls(3).Enabled = False
            Case "CL": .Controls(4).Enabled = False
        End Select

        .ShowPopup
    End With

End Sub

The problem is that the popup context menu appears where the mouse was clicked ... that is, over the push button.

Can anyone tell me which methods/properties I can control the position of the popup so that it appears at the base of the push button ... I've looked and looked through the help, but can't work out what to use.

Alternatively, is there some other method I should be using??

Cheers,

Rohan

Oh dear ... don't I feel stupid

I had copied and pasted the code from one of the samples, so never even saw the intellisense popup in the IDE. I had been looking for things like popup.top etc.

Thanks wlcabral.
