Anyone know a good way to display a custom menu for a popup form? Is a
floating toolbar the only option?

Thanks.

Click to expand...

You can provide a button or label on the form that when clicked displays a
shortcut menu.
 
Hum, I don't think so.

The whole concept of a popup form is to REMAIN on top of a existing form
WHILE the user CONTINUES to edit, and the other form still has the focus.
Thus for "info screens", and perhaps "wizard like help" screens,that is when
you use a popup. You RARELY need to use a popup form for editing of
data..and thus it don't make sense to have a menu bar (the fact that you
need one for the popup form seems that something else have gone very wrong
here).

Give the above idea and concept of a popup form, then the menu would have to
switch when the focus changes from the form the user is working to the popup
form.....but both forms would remain in full view.....

It is interesting, but 9 out of 10 times, people are using the "popup"
setting when they don't need to.

Is this a form that MUST stay visible WHILE you are using another form? If
you are just needing a form that should receive the focus..and HOLD the
focus until done, and allow the user to do some work, then you should be
using a model form...and not a popup one.....
