>>Hi,

>>I have a pop-up menu on click of the bottom button of a form. The menu is long (about 12 items). All items of the menu show on most computers. But one customer does not want to increase the resolution of the screen and he is looking for another solution.
>>Is there a way to show this menu in another way, so that all items are visible?

Likewise, you could imitate those with a listbox in such a form.

First, thank you.
Do I understand correctly that instead of the pop-up menu, you are suggesting to show a form (borderless headerless scrollable)? Correct?
