Details

Popmenu processing is normally specified in the Command Processing window in the object attributes. The four option values correspond to the four radio buttons in the Command Processing window.

The _popups method is used by the work area object to force items added to the work area to use the _popup method instead of the _select method (the default). This is done because the popup interface provided by the work area object is the primary method of manipulating work area items as well as removing those items.

Example

Allow all objects in the frame to run the _popup method:

 INIT:
  list = makelist();
  _frame_._getWidgets(list);
  do i = 1 to listlen(list);
     object = popl(list);
     object._popups('popup');
  end;
  return;
