Simulate a popup menu button

[Lars Brehmer]

Thanks once again Craig!

But again no.

The popup button is already in place. It has 7 menu items, and 6 of those have a submenu with several choices. I simply want to (in a script) simulate clicking on it (done) then hiliting one of the items and then show that items submenu and hiliting one of those items and then execute picking that item (also done.) I just cant figure how to show the menu choices and hiliting them.

As I said before, I do have a workaround that works ok, so it's not really crucial. But if anyone knows how to do this, I would prefer that solution.

Cheers,

Lars
