ScriptMaster 3 PopupMenu

[icook]

I am using PopupMenu on OS X using fmp 10 without any problems. The same code in Windows XP makes the popup menu the same size as the current FileMaker window. I have enclosed two screen shots of the same menu on each platform. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Look for the line of code

menuFrame.setBounds( 0, 0, (int) screenSize.getWidth(), (int) screenSize.getHeight() );

and change it to

menuFrame.setBounds( 0, 0, 0, 0 );

This will stop your screen from being filled, though your users will not be able to click outside of the drop down list to cancel making a selection.

Thanks David, worked like a charm.

Hi David,

The updated code had been working until today when I happened upon a serious bug. If you use the escape key with a popup menu active, FileMaker freezes. This is repeatable on both Windows and OS X using FMP 10 or FMP 11. Reverting to the original line of code avoids the freeze.

Thanks

Change the popupMenuCanceled method to this:

public void popupMenuCanceled( PopupMenuEvent e ) {

 menuFrame.dispose();

 }
