Popup menus within Grids

It is possible to display a popup menu on the grid at the exact point where the user clicked. For popup menus to work you must set either the LeftAction or RightAction properties for the cells that can call a popup menu. The program must also contain an appropriate event handler for the mouse action, for example if you require a left mouse click to display the popup menu then the program must contain a LeftClick() event handler. When the event handler is called the MouseX and MouseY properties are set to the location of the mouse click that triggered the event. The TrackPopup() menu method is used to display the menu. The menu must have previously been created by the Menu Editor within the Forms designer. Note that the position returned by MouseX and MouseY is relative to the top left hand corner of the grid control. Therefore to place a control at the exact location where the user clicked you must add the Top and Left positions of the control to the MouseX and MouseY properties. The following event handler could be used to display the menu Popup1 at the location of the last left mouse click:

-DEFEVENT Form1.GridControl1.LeftClick()
 .popup1.TrackPopup(..MouseX + ..Left, ..MouseY + ..Top)
 END EVENT
