Hi,

I am thinking about a previous posting. My users range from:

* truely excellent / know everything / great guys to know.
    to
* shouldn't be allowed near a Sony Playstation :-).

I am thinking about a context menu which is displayed if the user right-clicks on the pane manager / pane manager tabs. How could I (how would you) implement this?

What I want to do initially is hide a pane if it's not hiding automatically (it is selected) and have thee ability to hide all panes with a single click. Maybe adding an extra tab 'Help' and if pressed this displays a help menu (not everyone knows about the right-click logic) ?

I guess I could create an extra Help pane myself which the user cannot remove and this pane has a list of options, but ideally the virtual Help tab is only shown if other tabs are shown, otherwise if there are no tabs then I don't show the Help tab.

Or a virtual 'Close All' tab would be great for now - my preferred solution!

What I am searching for is a way of helping the terminally confused and reducing my support effort.

Any ideas or suggestions anyone?

I heroically found XTP_DPN_PANEMENUCLICK in the source - so now know how to add menus just as in the DynamicPanes and PaneActions demos.
