Customize the table Popup Menu

Hi -

For WebDev 12, is there a way to add items to the table popup menu? I seem to remember seeing something like that, but I can't seem to find it in the help now...

I want to give my users more tasks to do based on the selected rows in a table, and I thought the popup menu might be a good place to list those actions.

Hi, in the Help index, input popupmenu and enter. You see? Guenter

Thanks Guenter, but the help says to go to the GUI tab and there isn't one in WebDev12 - there is only a selection for displaying the menu or not - and the other help options don't really address how to program the menu. Am I missing something?

Hi Joel, I don't know whether that works in WebDev at all, but in WinDev, all tables have a 'System Menu' which in fact is a prebuilt Popup Menu. You can either replace that menu or add some options to it:

MySelf..PopupMenu = "+Popup1"
or
Table..Popmenu = "+Popup1"

In this example, you have to create the popup menu Popup1 at first and then you can add it to the system menu using the shown command line. You cannot change the system menu's appearance therefore you'd have to take care of your Popup1 menu's appearance to make it fit.

Replacing the system menu by your own one is done by

MySelf..PopupMenu = "Popup1"

Regards,

Got it! I'll see if that works in WebDev -
