OK, I figured it out. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature (hint: a user manual would be useful)

If you create the context menu and forget to set its type to xtpControlPopup:

click New Control

Enter ID, say "Test1"

Click "OK"

And then, once it is on the form, you realize that you have to change the type...and you change it from with the Properties pane a problem is created.  If you continue to build the context menu and then drag it onto the Controls pane, it is deleted from the form and the menu is lost.  Dragging the "Test1" entry in the Controls pane back into the form results in xtpControlButton with none of the menu entries you added.

That was my problem.  If you change the type on creation all works as advertised.

One other note.  The tutorial is correct.  Make sure that youfirst create your own control or type ControlPopup, do not assign itany category.  The drag that control onto the activemenubar. Now you can add your controls to that popup.  After that, drag theentire popup back into the designer controls list box.   The nexttime you drag that control onto the activemenubar that should all stillbe there.]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 20:34:18 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1553&PID=4437&title=context-menu#4437 <![CDATA[Context menu : You can simply set the popup control...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1553&PID=4436&title=context-menu#4436 Author: SuperMario

You can simply set the popup control that has the context menu items onit to invisible.  Make sure you give the popup an Id.  Thenyou will be searching in the activemenubar instead of thedesignercontrols when it comes time to load the context menu.  Soit woulb be something like:

Commandbars(1).Find(,ID_OF_CONTEXT_POPUP,,TRUE)

Just getting started...

Tutorial 1, page 22 reads:  Once the "Context Menu" is complete it must be dragged and dropped back into the collection of controls.

I can't seem to do that.  Dragging and dropping a populated context menu simply results in the loss of the menu and the configuration.

Also, undo/redo don't seem to work.

Thanks,

-Martin
