	Could you be more specific? Is your command bar xtpBarPopup? I wasn't aware that you could create a popup menu in the designer. When should the popupmenu be displayed? When the user righ-clicks the document? I can show you how to add a popup menu via code when the user right clicks the document.

	OK, xtpControlPopup is a button control, not a command bar. To have a popup command bar it must be type xtpBarPopup. You can not create a popup command bar in the designer, it must be done via code. I will assume you have a SDI application with a rich textbox control called rtfText. To create and add a popup menu to your code add the following code to the rtf_MouseUp event procedure. Private Sub rtfText_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single) If (Button = 2) Then Set Popup = CommandBars.Add("Popup", xtpBarPopup) With Popup.Controls &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_NEW, "&New", -1, False &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_OPEN, "&Open", -1, False &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_SAVE, "&Save", -1, False &nbs p; Set Control = .Add(xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_PRINT, "&Print", -1, False) &nbs p; Control.BeginGroup = True &nbs p; Set Control = .Add(xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_CUT, "Cu&t", -1, False) &nbs p; Control.BeginGroup = True &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_COPY, "&Copy", -1, False &nbs p; .Add xtpControlButton, ID_EDIT_PASTE, "&Paste", -1, False End With Popup.ShowPopup End If This is illustrated in the SDI and MDI command Bars examples.

	You do not need an imagelist control. All of the popup menu controls should have a corresponding control somwhere in the toolbar or menubar. So all of the icons will already be added in the designer. Just make sure that you assign the same ID to the popup controls as you did to the controls in the menu and toolbar. This will make them have the same Icon and perform the same actions. Did this help?
