Hello,

in the "ProfUIS_Controls" demo app there is a menu animation effect called "slide" that can be applied to a popup menu.
When right clicking the menu always slides DOWN depending on two different modes: default behaviour is to appear below the current
mouse position (CMP) and exceptionally, i.e. only when near the lower frame border, above the CMP.

How can I force the popup rolling UPWARD in case of right clicking near the lower side?

How can I change the default behaviour of the popup in a way that it prefers to appear ABOVE the CMP and only
rolls down if CMP is near the upper border?

Thank you for your answer (I’ll answer as Martin is in holidays)

It would be great if you could add some styles for it!

Thank you for your answer.

But how can I force the popup to slide always AWAY FROM THE CMP, i.e. downward if the popup appears under the CMP and upward if it appears above the CMP? By default it ALWAYS rolls downward.

The bottom-to-top slide menu appearing animation is supported and you can see it in the menus appeared from the bottom-docked menu bar’s or toolbar’s buttons. But the menu does not apply the bottom-to-top sliding in any other cases including context menus. We can add some TPMX_*** menu tracking style which controls this option if you request this.

Please play with the TPMX_TOPALIGN, TPMX_BOTTOMALIGN,
TPMX_LEFTALIGN or TPMX_RIGHTALIGN flags in the first parameter of the
CExtPopupMenuWnd::TrackPopupMenu() method. These flags specify the position of the drop-down.
