Hi.
Are you using an actual pop-up style button, like a PullDown or cascade?
Or are you rolling your own, as it seems, when you said 'simulate'?
If you are making your own, what is the reason to do that?
If you are using one of the standard button styles, the usual method is
something like:
on menuPick pItemName
switch pItemName
case "choice 1"
answer the menuHistory of me
break
case "choice 2"
beep 3
break
end switch
end menuPick
Anyway, read the dictionary about the "menuHistory". It is likely what you are
missing.

Subject: Simulate a popup menu button
I am trying to simulate the action of using a popup menubutton, but I can't
figure out how to do the middle step (if that is even possible)
click at the buttonLoc
reveals the menu choices and
send "menuPick" && "the menu choice"
executes the menuPick.
But I can't figure out to hilite the menu choice line while the menu is
visible.
select menuItem 2
doesn't actually hilite the menu line. What am I missing here?
Cheers,
Lars
