Activate first item on popup menu

[AlexSchaft]

Hi,

When a popup menu is activated, the highlight is not show, and the user must first press up or down to see the highlight. Is there a way to automatically highlight the first item?

Alex,

In samples\TestPop.prg please insert this line:

Code: Select all

function ShowPopup( nRow, nCol )

   oMenu := BuildPopup()

   // This one!
   oMenu:aItems[ 1 ]:bWhen = { || oMenu:oWnd := oWnd, oMenu:Hilite( 1 ), oMenu:aItems[ 1 ]:bWhen := nil }

   ACTIVATE POPUP oMenu WINDOW oWnd AT nRow, nCol

return nil

Hi,

The highlight seems to work, but the menu still "thinks" it is not highlighted, as you must press down twice to get off the first row. Is there a way around this?

Alex,

You could try to send a WM_KEYDOWN to the popup:

SendMessage( oPopup:hMenu, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_DOWN )
