in thread Tkx g_bind to menu on listbox only for selected row

Thanks. I am sure you are right, but I need %X and %Y to get the position of the context menu right. How do I go about getting both sets of coordinates bound to the same Motion event?

    $lb->g_bind(
    "<Enter>",
    [
sub {
    my ( $X, $Y, $y, $lb ) = @_;
    warn " $X,$Y,$y,$lb "
},
     Tkx::Ev(qw' %X %Y %y '),
     $lb,
    ],
);

      Thanks! That worked for me!

      Final question: The menu persists after the user has moved the mouse away from the selected row. There does not seem to be anything like "g_tk___popdown()". How can I pop down the menu?

        You can't, that is the point/purpose/design behind tk_popup, it shows a menu, pauses your program, until user makes a selection (or escapes)

        maybe you want balloons/tooltips ?
