Finding Who Popped up a Menu

You can find out whether a menu was popped up from a gadget, and if so, the gadget’s name. The method is:

!menu.popupGadget() is GADGET

If the menu was a popup on a gadget then the returned GADGET variable is a reference to the gadget. If the menu was popped up from a pulldown-menu or from a popup on the form itself, the value is UNSET.

!g = !menu.popupGadget()

if !g.set() then

$p menu popped up by gadget $!n

!n = menu.owner().name()

$p menu popped up by form $!n
