How to show a popup menu at cursor location, with no "parent" [message #447077]

To create a popup menu it looks like Menu wants a parent. Now what if I
wanted to create a popup menu, not associated to any component. I just
want to show a menu at the cursor location randomly, say. How can I do that?

Thanks,
Eddie

The parent of a Menu is always a Shell. You can position a menu anywhere
you want using Menu.setLocation().

Oh, I see. So I could just pass my application's shell as parent, and
display it anywhere I want. I'll try that to get my menu showing
(related post I posted earlier)...

Thanks,
Eddie
