Popup(ParentControl: IControl; X: Integer; Y: Integer);

Example

Executing the example requires a form, a button named Button1 on it, the Memo component named Memo1, and the PopupMenu component named PopupMenu1.

    Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
    Var
        p: IPoint;
    Begin
        p := Self.ClientToScreen(Memo1.Left, Memo1.Top);
        PopupMenu1.Popup(Memo1, p.X + 5, p.Y + 5);
    End Sub Button1OnClick;

After executing the example clicking the button opens the context menu in the area of the Memo1 component. The context menu is shifted from the left upper corner for 5 pixels along X and Y axis.
