The object constructors are called by definition _before_ any properties are streamed in so yes, PopupMenu and Name will always both be unset at this point. > I tried moving this to the onMouseDown event but the assigned > popup, pops up before the event triggers (robbing me the > opportunity to add my extra options). > > Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated :) Without knowing more context, I would suggest a Loaded method override which is called once all properties are streamed in.
