Hello Jerry

when I activate a popup with

do menu1.mpr

the menu pops-up at the place of the mouse, unless it is off the screen then it pops-up at the closest place to the mouse

you can fix this by moving the mouse

Mouse at 1,1 && moves the mouse
do menu1.mpr && the shortcut menu will pop-up at 1,1

>Thanks, but that doesn't work. The popup is defined and activated in the command button's click() event. The command button could be positioned anywhere on the form.
>
>When the button is clicked, how can I tell the popup to display right on top of the command button?
>
>Thanks,
