Popup Menu in .NET

[hippe013]

In the past, when I've wanted a popup menu, I would use Dos Library's dos_popupmenu, while using LISP. Does anyone know how to create one in .NET?

@hippe013, you should find this thread I started in the .NET forum a while back useful:

@Jeff_M, Thank you Jeff. This has certainly pointed me in the right direction.

I've posted the following code for how I've implemented the ContextMenuStrip. I am using this to get the user input rather than using keywords.

Public Class MyCommands
        Public mnu As System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip
        Public aDoc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
        Public ed As Editor = aDoc.Editor
        Public db As Database = aDoc.Database

       <CommandMethod("TestPopupMenu")> _
        Public Sub TestPopupMenu()
            
            If mnu Is Nothing Then
                mnu = New System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip
                mnu.Items.Add("PlotStyle")
                mnu.Items.Add("LineType")
                mnu.Items.Add("Color")
                mnu.Items.Add("Freeze")
                AddHandler mnu.ItemClicked, AddressOf mnu_ItemClicked
            End If
            mnu.Show(Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position)
        End Sub

        Private Sub mnu_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs)
            ed.WriteMessage(vbCrLf + e.ClickedItem.ToString)
        End Sub

    End Class
