Apparently a difficult one...
Hi,
I've tried to get an answer on the following already many times, but I didn't see any for the moment: When you create a shape, you can use the 'Actions' section to have extra items popping up in the popup or smart tag menu (right-clicking on the shape). Is it possible to have submenus too, like the ones you see for 'View', 'Format' and 'Shape' in the popup menu? Really want to know this, it could save me from creating long and/or complex popup menus. --Geert ================================================== == " Only after the last tree has been cut down Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Only after the last beast has been killed Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten...

You can't create cascading menus using the ShapeSheet Actions section.
You *can* put multiple SmartTag icons at different locations on the shape. Perhaps you can find different icons for the Button Face of the icon that help users make a logical choice. You can customize Visio's UI using the Application.UIObject. The right-click menu is the "drawing page context menu", and you can modify the structure of this. Of course, this customized UI will apply to all shapes that you right-click, unless you constantly check what was right-clicked and modify the UI "on the fly" Also, if you are using the Visio Drawing Control, you can trap mouse over/down/up events and draw your own "real" menu where the mouse was clicked. Then you can cascade. I'm not sure if this is possible in the normal Visio application, as I've not tried it yet. -- Hope this helps, Chris Roth Visio MVP "Geert Vancompernolle" geert dot vancompernolle at hotpop dot com wrote in message ...

Hi Chris,
That's indeed what I've done: using the smart tag feature. I didn't know exactly what it was doing, but I've now learned to appreciate the power of this feature. I can now make as many 'cascaded' (they're not really cascaded, but they look like...) menus as I want. One more question though: is it possible to define more than one SETF() per action in the Actions section? Hope it is, then it solves a lot of my issues. Thanks again for this very useful input. --Geert "Chris Roth [ Visio MVP ]" wrote in message ... You can't create cascading menus using the ShapeSheet Actions section.
