Thankyou. I can't make that work though, even when it's spelled out like that.

The mouseEvt's are nil values, so I substitute actual numbers, and that won't work either. If I take the PopupMenu instead of PopupMenuXY, and use a wxPoint instead of the two integers (as specified in the wxWidgets manual), that doesn't work either. I need something tested and verified. The problem I have is that if something works I can thrash around on my own trying to vary things to see what works, what breaks, and maybe even what will work better. If I can't get anything to work, all I can do is plead from a state of utter helplessness. Any actual working script, complete, no matter how small, is great, I can then take it apart til I know how it ticks.
