To center a popup menu on the screen you just pass in the x and y
coordinantes of the screen to the CommandBars.ShowPopup method. I
believe this will only work for command bars of type xtpBarPopup, but I
could be wrong.
Set Popup = CommandBars.Add("Popup", xtpBarPopup) With Popup.Controls &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_NEW, "&New" &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_OPEN, "&Open" &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_SAVE, "&Save" End With Popup.ShowPopup 100, 100 Hope this helps.  |

Also note that supplying the x,y is optional. If they are omitted, the popup will display at the current screen cursor position.

amstel: Paste this code in the DynamicPopus sample. Does it do what you would expect? Private Sub frameChild_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) |

It appears that this method will only accept constant values as
parameters. Any time you pass in a value generated at runtime it
will use the x and y coords of the mouse. I did several tests and
I have found no way to make this work. It only appears to work in
the MouseDown event because you expect the popup to be displayed where
you clicked with the x and y passed to the event. But the values passed
to the event do nothing in the showpopup method. Try changing
the value of x and y with a value
stored in a variable, if you hard code it like x=100, that will work
but that is no good at runtime. But x=me.width will not work
because it is not a constant. I can think of a couple ugly
workarounds, but it would be nice to pass in a variable as x and y.

SuperMario is right. I assumed that the x and y would come from a mouse event (as they normally are when showing a popup). I tried a bunch of workarrounds, but came up short so far.
