I don't understand exactly what you want to do, and why you have "mnuPopup.Popup()" inside the event handler sub Action_Activate. And why "mnuPopup.Popup()" anyway?
Popup menus are easily made like PUBLIC SUB Form_MouseDown() 'or something else MouseDown() IF Mouse.Right THEN mnuTest.Popup END now mnuTest shows, and if some element of mnuTest is clicked, then PUBLIC SUB mnuAction_Click() Message.Info("hello") END Generally, you have to write sub/function "AS something" only if you want to return something to the code that called it. If you don't, "PUBLIC SUB xy()" is enough. Yes, and Gambas 2 and 3 can live together on the same machine.
