Not at all. I have a File Server Agent that uses socket communications. I first
get a list of files from the user, then I query the server or a list of what I
call Profiles which right now are just a name and a file path on the server.
I want to present the client user with a list of the names

What are you trying to accomplish that the native buttons do not do for you?
The popUp command, to me, is simply a tool to invoke a display of resident
menuItems that do not necessarily have to live at the button location itself,
and that button not even needing to be visible.

Interesting, the dictionary didn’t mention mouseUp. But some kind of mouse up
or down handler has to be what makes the call.
It turns out that rolling your own blocking popup “menu” is not very
straightforward. Here is what I came up with:
on popupMenu pMenu, pItems, pLocation
-- anything
It also works with any style of menu-style button, combobox, pulldown, etc.

It works just fine in a mouseUp handler as well. I just did it.

Understood. That is why I wrote, I assure everyone there *IS* a button called
“mnuLocations”. As I posted later, this command can only be used in a mouseDown
handler. I think I knew this many, many years ago, but I forgot.

I ask as I have some popup (and other) menu weirdness happening that is
new to Sequoia.

Bob .
“popup” is not a command that creates a button. It only works with an existing
button, opening its contents at a location of your choice. That button can be
hidden, but its menu will appear anyway.

Okay, it appears that this command can only be used in a mouseDown handler.
That isn’t entirely clear in the dictionary. I am simply trying to present a
menu to the user. I will use a different kind of menu button then, and just
show and hide the button.
