adding a right-click menu

[damarious]

OK, I guess there is only one way to say this:

How do I do it? I've never had to. I know VB fairly well, don't be discouraged, just point me in the right direction.

Click Tools > Menu Editor and type in your Menu there.

File > MnuFile
....About > MnuAbout
....Exit > mnuExit

Edit > MnuEdit
....Cut > MnuCut
....Copy > MnuCopy
....Paste > MnuPaste
'etc.
'etc.

And in a MouseDown event, can be any control, put this:

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then PopupMenu mnuFile
End Sub

'If menu is on another form:

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then PopupMenu Form2.mnuFile
End Sub

make a menu item in the Menu bar editor and set its Visible property to false, e.g. make mnuHelp, and some items below it, and set mnuHelp's visible property to false

then in the mousedown event of the Form or whatever control you want to use:

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

If Button = vbRightButton Then
    frmPrincipal.PopupMenu mnuHelp
End If

End Sub

ROCK! Thanks all, I'm all set... this place kicks assmar.

Can we have a menu bar on the form like file save.... those, but i need pop up menu bar also... so, can i have 2 menu bars at the same time? or can i just show part of the menu bar in the pop up menu bar?
