Menu without a view?

Udo Schneider
How can I display a popup menu without having an open shell/view?

The idea was to display a menu for a traybar icon. Using DesktopView
as a view for the menu didn't work.

Any hints?

Udo

Try:
     ChoicePrompter choices: #('cat' 'dog' 'frog') caption: 'Please choose'.
"Display it"

Brian,

thanks for the hint. Works fine.

Unfortunately this isn't exactly what I wanted to achieve. But after reading
some of the
last articles I found the solution I was searching for: View class>>active.

I'm using the following code now:

| menu |
menu := Menu fromStrings: #( 'Traybar Icon' '&Help//help' '-'
'&About//about')
menu showIn: View active position: Cursor position
