Popup Menu Script

How?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi there, I would like to create some buttons that can be placed anywhere on the screen, and when you click on them, menus appear with icons. Not a normal menu, but one that just has large icons with text under them.

How would I do this? Thank you.

To make a popup menu in DX with out adding new scripts....




Not sure what you mean by normal menu.. But to create a pop up menu. 1 create to objects 1 of which will be your button the other will be your menu. assign your Graphics to your button and your menu on the states page of the Objects properties ...give your MENU OBJECT an ( object ID ) on the summary page of it's properties. then go to the relations tab and set the popup to (toggle) then hit apply. next go to the properties of your button On the general Tab where it says object type click the change button and change it to (object controller) on the next pop up window make sure (open/toggle the popup object is checked then where it says (Target object name or group name ) scroll until you find the name that you gave your menu. hit apply and then when you click on your button the menu will appear or disappear when you click on the button the second time.. You can now make new objects either an image or text and put them on your menu... On the properties page of each of your new objects go to the summary page and give them an (Object ID) and where it says (Parent/owner) put in the name you gave your menu.. and then where it says (Child) change it to say yes..

hope this is what you wanted and that it helps
