Menu tearing...

[Enzo\(V\)]

I'm trying to create a tear off mean or -- as some call it -- a float menu.
I have an owner drawn context menu on a notify icon and a tear off menu
item. Then only problem is I don't know how to detect and handle a mouse
down event or something of this nature to detect the mouse is being pressed
down and being 'drug' around. I would _really_ appreciate any help!!

Thanks for the help Cor. This will work _great!!_. I do have just one
more question. I don’t know how to detect a mouse down. I wish there was
a Cursor.MouseDown property or something since there is no MouseDown
event for a menu item. Thanks in advance all!!!

Hi Bryan,

It is a greath chalenge to figure out.

There is no mouse down, I think it has no sence, it would not have sence
because the menu is fixed to the mousedown point everytime again.

The first thought I had was creating a little label that moves over the form
using the mouse down.

However, I do not have really an answer,

Sorry

Cor... I see... Cor, you've been a lot of help, thanks. I think I'll
just have to get a little creative.
