Description

Provides a popup menu so that when the right mouse button is pressed in the main window a menu appears. The menu does not appear when the mouse points to a control within the main window.

The clearwin_info@ parameters, POPUP_X and POPUP_Y reflect the position of the mouse at the point at which %pm was invoked. These values are screen coordinates before any subsequent movement to select a particular menu item. They can be used in a user function that is called when a popup menu item is selected.

Notes

If you want the percentage character % to appear in the text of a menu item then you must put %% in the code.
