Hi All,

Does anybody know how to make the Full/Context Menu appear when a Dialog/Popup Screen is displayed?

I tried overriding makeMenu(), but still it wouldn't display when i click the Menu key.

Please help.

You will have to wire up the MENU key and call makeMenu yourself.

There is no default context menu on PopupScreen.

i tried what you mean but i don't know how to manually display the menu. what i did was i called the makeMenu() method but the menu still won't pop up. here's my code:

	
protected boolean keyDown(int in_nKeyCode, int in_nTime)
{
      int nKeyPressed = Keypad.key(in_nKeyCode);

      if(nKeyPressed == Keypad.KEY_MENU)
      {
            makeMenu(this.getMenu(Menu.INSTANCE_DEFAULT), Menu.INSTANCE_DEFAULT);
            return true;
       }
    
       return false;
}

what should i do?

Did you look at the API docs for Menu?

How about calling Menu.show()?

thanks, i tried it, but the menu is displayed on the upper right corner of the screen. why is this?

this is how i did it:

this.getMenu(Menu.INSTANCE_DEFAULT).show();

The menu is displayed wherever the OS puts it, and you have no control over this.

Ask RIM why.
