Separator in Windows popupmenu

[Jean-Luc Arnaud]

Windows and Linux do not support separators within PopupMenus, so this
(popupmenu.AddSeparator) simply adds a row with the text "-" that can
be selectable by the user.

How may I deal with these "-" menus I don't want selectable by user?

If no way in Xojo it-self, is there a free class, or maybe a solution in
MBS plugins?

TIA for any help.

Replying to myself, I tested this code in the Change event of the
popupmenu. It works but "-" line is still selectable.

// LastIndex is a global property of the main window.

If Me.Text="-" Then
Me.ListIndex=LastIndex
Else
LastIndex=Me.ListIndex
End If


Other ideas?

TIA

Thanks for replying, Vaughn.

Yes, of course, on Mac, no problem.

But I would like, on Windows too, to separate items into groups with
separators.

You may use a contextual menu instead. I don’t specifically recall whether they allow separators on Windows (menus on menu bars do, for instance), but even if not, you can at least have disabled items (so you may have blank or “grouping” menu item (like “Others:”), not selectable by the user; the only missing thing in that case would be the line).
