Is it possible to create a context menu using Rg.Plugin.Popup?
Basically, I would like to know if it is possible to do the following 2 things:
Disable the dimming effect around the pop-up
Place the pop-up adjacent to the button that is tapped in order to open it, above or bellow it.

I have an old app to automate using AutoIt.
My biggest problem is to access a specific button inside a toolbar (like the example message).
When inspecting, the inspector only shows the info of the toolbar, not the individual buttons. I can't inspect a specific element inside it.
How can I tell the script which button should be clicked? Maybe find the tool bar and tell to click button 3, but how? Is it possible like this?
Thanks.
Resolved with the instance number of the button inside the toolbar.
Example: [CLASS:Viewcore_W32; INSTANCE:3]
I have to do some attempts with different indexes until right button is clicked but it works now.
Thanks.
I am trying to mouse hover a menu option using blue prism. I tried HTML/Win32/AA/Region mode while spying but none of them worked. If I click on that element, I will be navigated to a different page.
Any pointers will help.
Thanks
Not sure if you still need an answer on that as this question is more than month old.
If I understood you correctly, you want to hover mouse pointer over menu and then select one of the options from the drop down list. If so, there might be some options to achieve that without clicking on the menu itself.
If you want to open same link every time you navigate through this website, then you can launch the target URL instead of navigating through the menu.
Some HTML elements doesn't need to be visible to be active, on some websites you can 'click' on menu item without it being presented in form of drop down list. You can try to spy that element and navigate directly to it. If you won't be able to spy it you can search for correct element in application tree (Application Modeller -> Select some element -> click on arrow next to Identify button -> Open Application Navigator). Then you can use Mouse Click on that element via Navigate stage.
I've tried to imitate mouse hover on some website by spying whole browser window with Win32 mode, and then using Drop option in Navigate stage, giving the menu exact coordinates. Seems to be working, you can try this option as well.
You can test how menu reacts on Focus method in Navigate stage, but I wouldn't get my hopes up with this option.
If you share link to the website, then maybe I'll be able to help more.
I've created an interface nib/xib file. The app is basically working, which is cool. The standard toolbar buttons look bad, they're glossy and raised, while most apps in Lion have the flat, inner bevel look. So I created some image toolbar buttons and put them in the toolbar and they look great, but they're all disabled by default.
Is there a way to give these the correct state in InterfaceBuilder or do I have to use code to give them the proper state.
Cocoa and Objective C are very unfamiliar so it would be helpful to me if I just knew what to search for. Most of my searching brings me results for creating custom buttons for iOS.
I figured this out, here's what you do:
In the nib/xib file, double click your menu bar to show the "allowed toolbar items" sheet. From here, choose your button that you've created. In my case I'll select a back button that I want to connect to a webview control. Ctrl click + drag from the button to what you want to connect it to and then make the appropriate connection. In my case I choose goBack from the WebView.
Once it has a connection it now becomes active.
I am trying to interface with a cocoa popup menu from an OpenGL button. The actual button needs to be in OpenGL and I cannot stick an actual Cocoa button in its place but when this button is pressed I would like for a Cocoa menu to popup just like the one that comes up when you press the nspopupbutton. It seems that there is no way to get this popup window to come up by itself so I wanted to just insert an invisible button and have it be pressed automatically when the popup menu method is called. Is there a way to programmatically set a button to pressed (this will bring up the menu from the popupbutton) and make the button itself invisible without making the resulting menu invisible?

Sure there is. See + popUpContextMenu:withEvent:forView:
Have you thought about just using a regular NSMenu, rather than trying to finagle the menu from an NSPopupButton?
I wrote a little app that lives in the NSStatusBar. I want to have a global shortcut that when hit, the menu bar's content is displayed, exactly like the behavior of spotlight.
I have added a global key shortcut to my application, but I am unable to get the meun bar to display. How can I do this? I tried with "popUpContextMenu" , but that method displays the menu in the bottom left hand corner, I want the menu to open up right under the NSStatusBar menu icon.
You can do it, apple provides a method for it popUpStatusItemMenu:
I don't think there is a supported way to do this without perhaps using the Accessibility framework to simulate a click on your status item. Regardless, it's probably not a good idea to abuse a menu in this way.
The Spotlight menu bar item does not use an NSMenu, it uses a custom window/view. You might consider going this route if you have some sort of custom view to display.
