Bob,

It's just a matter of where you encapsulate the functionality as to where you do it. For the PTF-OPP book I created a RightClick menu object. The object was told where to dispatch the OnSelection messages to. ie the form as it created the menu object told it what method names to callback to. This way encapsulates most of the resposibility to the menu object.

By doing it all in the RightClick you encapsulate all the functionality there in one method.

Both ways work equally well.

>>Don't use the ON SELECTION options in the short cut menu, instead in the right click of the form activate the popup and then in the code following the activation use a DO CASE to check the BAR() that was chosen and respond to it.
