What are ’Flags’ values for ShowPopup?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The first parameter of the ShowPopup method of CommandBars is 'Flags'.  The ActiveX help file describes this as 'The flags for the popup', but there is no mention of what the valid values are for this parameter.
Can someone please provide some insight into the appropriate values for this parameter and the impact those flags will have on the ShowPopup method?
Thanks!

	Constants will be added in the next release, I will list the constant names (valid in next release) and their corresponding values which you will have to use right now: TPM_RETURNCMD = 256 (&H100) TPM_RIGHTALIGN = 8 TPM_RIGHTBUTTON = 2 TPM_RETURNCMD - Returns value instead execute event. TPM_RIGHTALIGN - Right aligns the menu starting from the x and y coordinates. TPM_RIGHTBUTTON - Allows you to choose a menu item using a right click.

	Thanks. TPM_RIGHTALIGN is exactly what I was hoping to find

	I found a small bug with the TPM_RIGHTALIGN flag. If there is not enough room on the screen to display the menu right-aligned, it defaults to left-aligned. What it should do is shift the menu to the right until it could be fully displayed. The following screen print illustrates the issue. The first item shows typical behavior. The second item shows the "unexpected" behavior of loosing the right-align property. The third item shows what I would expect the second item to look like.
