Hi Stephen,
I have seen Xavier answer.
Unfortunately, it does not work with Mac OS: you can't prevent text deselection when popping up a menu.
But ;-)
Only a "not really satisfying" workaround:
Set the hiliteColor of your field ("#B5D5FF" for standard Mac OS for instance).
Then, in the script of your field:
on mouseDown pButton
local tChunk
-----
if pButton = 3 then
put the selectedChunk into tChunk
if word 4 of tChunk > word 2 of tChunk then
set the backcolor of the selectedChunk to the hiliteColor of me
popup btn "MyMenu"
end if
end if
end mouseDown
--------------------------
on selectionChanged
set the backcolor of char 1 to -1 of me to empty
end selectionChangedBest regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

I know there's some kind of trick here to do this;
I have an unlocked, editable field with text. I select a portion of the text, then option click on it for a popup that has a few options to select from to do something to the text, like uppercase, lowercase, etc.
This changing works with a button and an option menu combo, but not in a contextual button. Any activity on the field kills the selection.
Attempting this always loses the selection, then there's nothing to change, and all attempts to save the selection range description to a global still don't seem to work.
I'm sure there's a dance of locking and unlocking to get this to work, but I haven't found it yet... any ideas...?..
