Description | Use the option command to display a stack menu as an option menu in situations where it is not possible to attach the menu to a button (for example, if the contents of the menu are not known in advance). Use the option command in a mouseDown handler to display the menu :
While the menu is displayed, the handler pauses. The menu appears centered over the center of the control containing the handler. Choosing a menu item from the menu sends a mouseUp message to the stack. | ||||||
