I have run your sample in VFP7 and had no problems. However, if you are running other than VFP7, some of the coordinates in the _screen were out of sync with the desktop. This means that some overlap (such as in popups and submenus, etc...) were occuring.

I seem to recall that there was some mention of this in 'whats new in vfp 7'. Here is the link, ironically, first item addressing coordinates....

>I am trying to design a right-click (i.e., shortcut) menu which has more than one level. That is, one of the menu bars pops up a sub-menu.

>The problem is that the submenu pops up in such a way that it conceals the right side of the "parent" menu. In this example, popping up _submenu2 conceals the right-hand arrow which indicates that Bar#3 also has a submenu.

>A non-shortcut (i.e., _MSYSMENU) submenu doesn't have this problem. It properly pop up beyond the right edge of the menu which activated it so that nothing is concealed.
>
>Also, when there isn't room for a _MSYSMENU submenu to pop up on the right, it pops up neatly tucked against the LEFT margin of the menu that called it. In the case of a shortcut, the submenu again pops up so that it conceals a lot of the menu that called it.

>FWIW, "FROM mcol()" seems to have no effect when defining the submenus. Eliminating the MARGIN argument doesn't help either.

>Am I missing something? Is there a way to control where the submenu pops up or to make it consistent with the way that submenus in _MSYSMENU work?
