I’m using Xojo R2014R2 on Mac OSX. I can use .AddSeparator to add a separator item to a PopupMenu, but it doesn’t show as a line, and it can be selected by the user. I’d like it to behave the same way a pulldown menu works with .AddSeparator.
Is there any way to work around this?

I just tried the example from the LR at http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/PopupMenu.AddSeparator and modified it a bit, then used it in the open event
me.addRow "Zaza Gabor"
dim s(2) as string
s(0)="Abbott"
s(1)="Costello"
s(2)="Frankenstein"
me.AddSeparator
me.AddRows s
The separator is a line, and cannot be selected…
You’re right! So I searched through all my code, found nothing that looked suspicious. I made an example project similar to yours and it worked flawlessly. I put the popup menu on top of a page panel in the example project (just like in my original app), it worked flawlessly. I eyeballed my own code and ran it over and over, no luck.
Then I went to dinner. When I came back, I saw immediately that I wasn’t actually adding a separator, I was adding a blank line. It was a stupid typing mistake!
So the problem was between the keyboard and the chair…
Thanks!
