A menu's selection is always visible, and I've found bindings on popup menus can be useful to deal with the selection. If the object represented by the popup's selection is deleted (by some other piece of UI) then the popup's selection can be updated automagically with bindings. But certainly the minute you want separators or other dynamic content, binding become less useful. Cheers, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
