How can a popup menu form stay at the top at design time?
« on: January 16, 2024, 09:41:23 am »
Hi All,
I have a popup menu with a lot of content. I want the drop-down menu form to always remain at the top during design time. Is there a method for this?

Hi,

If you use Linux, you can set the form as "Always on Top".

I think I explained it wrong. I meant the popup menu editor, not the design form.

Hi,
Sorry, never had that problem, I use 2 screens :)

Working with Windows, Mac or Linux?

If you install the AnchorDocking package I believe you can make all "floating windows stay on top".  Tools > Options > Environment > Docking/AnchorDocking > Floating Windows On Top

This is how it looks on my Lazarus Windows installation with anchor docking, I can't "hide" that window at all, did not changed any specific setting to do so.

ask for the feature, I am sure it's simple to do.

All that is needed is a checkmark box or some config while the menu editor up to keep it floating on the screen.

I would like to thank each and every one of you, brothers Dzandaa, Tony Stone,KodeZwerg and jamie, for spending your precious time and responding.

When I try to install the relevant anchordcoking package, I get an error. I think I need to change the version I use. Since I have a lot of package connections and I'm working hard, I'm postponing this to a later time for now.

You'll probably laugh at me, but I'll ask anyway. Where and how do I do this?  ;D

Hi,

I use AnchorDocking too and the menu editor is on top.
Both in Windows and Linux.
