Hi,

You can add simple button, catch its Execute event and popup context menu.

I've discovered the problem. It's a conflict presumably between the CommandBars and an Infragistics ActiveToolBars control.
 
I use ActiveToolBars for a special (and rather complex) purpose within the central body of the form - completely unrelated to normal menus. I don't know if that functionality can be replicated with CommandBars.
 
What I need to accomplish is similar to the Dynamic Popups sample - where you click a button/icon and a menu appears below it ... EXCEPT the pop-up menu needs to be located in a specific location in the central area of the form (not up with the menus/toolbars). Is this possible?
 
If not, do you happen to have Infragistics ActiveToolBars and, if so, can you look into what is causing this problem?

Hi,
 
Sorry we need something to allow us reproduce it. Try to copy your project - reduce to single form/reproduce problem and attach here.
Thanks for help.

Sorry ... could have sworn I had my specs in my sig.

No, unfortunately I couldn't replicate it in the sample (or in a small test program I created). Admittedly, I'm not certain what is causing this, but I have had the program around for a long time and the Codejock controls are the only real new thing that have been added. But who knows - it could be something else.

Hi,
 
Do you see it with our SkinMDISample ?
What Version of SkinFramework do you have?

Steps to recreate the problem:
 
1.  Run a program (either compiled or from the VB IDE) and open a window from the program that has a lot of controls on it, in addition to SkinFramework and CommandBars.
 
2.  Open a modal form or a message box.
 
3.  Open any other program in windows.
 
4. Switch back to your running VB program.
 
Result (for me anyway):
The app (if compiled) or the VB IDE completely locks up.
 
As mentioned, I'm using SkinFramework and CommandBars (on an mdi background window). All other controls are standard VB controls.
 
This didn't happen until after I added the above two Codejock controls (although it's been months since I actually noticed it). This can be replicated on any computer as a customer pointed it our to me.
 
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
