Hello, Is there any way to trigger 2 popups at once, each expanding away from the other? Or to have a 2 columned popup
(I'm thinking of the right click in 3d Studio Max).

Thanks for your time.

xPopup's manual menu break can do it. As far as the position it opens with, that will need some scripting, I believe.

I know in Popup2 you could define a x and y position to open the popup too in !Popup...check the docs.

Thanks.
I know you can set the position in Popup2, but I dont know how to have 2 simultaneously displayed popups next to each other (hopefully opening away from each other).

I might look into xPopup...

You could do it with xPopup. Like Cerbie said, it would take a bit of scripting.
-position popup1's x/y
-pin open popup1
-position popup2's x/y relative to popup1
-pin open popup2
You'd have to use the pin bangs, because regular !popup bangs result in the previous popup being closed.

Ah,that looks like the stuff. I'll get into that...

Two final quick questions that I haven't found an answer for:

1. Is there a way of binding any of the buttons of a mouse (eg 5 button) to a command?

2. Would there be a way to simulate a few keypresses and tie it to a command. I have a KVM switch where you have to hit Print Screen twice then an arrow key then enter... which I would like to streamline.

Would it be able to simulate it at a low enough level somehow to actually work with the KVM hardware?

^probably a stupid question.

Thanks for all your help.

But if you pin the popup don't you need to close it manually by clicking a close button?

1) Of course

2) No because the keyboard needs to press the button because the KVM is between the keyboard and PC.

But if you pin the popup don't you need to close it manually by clicking a close button?

Yes, but it'd be a simple toggle - or it could even have a timeout to automatically close. Not sure of another way to do what he's asking.

Ok, thanks for your help.

1. Use the software that came with it, which universally sucks for various reasons.

I was a bit lazy in the first reply :)
