I want to call up ObjectBar popups from ObjectDock

Any way to do this???

August 28, 2009 12:04:20 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Ok, I have some cool ObjectBar menus that I designed, that pop up from icons on my main ObjectBar.  I'd like to use ObjectDock, but I want to keep those menus.  I've found that the submenus are actually seperate ObjectBars, like for example one is in a file called: "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\ObjectBar\test\Bars\New Popup Menu.obbar

I've also learned that you can just have an ObjectDock icon link directly to the .obbar file, and it will call up the menu, just like I want, but the menu will be permanently loaded -- not a popup that goes away when something is selected or you click outside the menu.

Does anyone know a way of accomplishing what I want?

I don't seem to have that, so I'm guessing that's in ObjectDock Plus?

I'd be happy to pay for OD PLus, if it can do what I want, but in all the screenshots at the website, there's nothing that looks like what I want.

My OBar popups have images of a non-standard size that are links to websites.  Each selection has a mouse-over image that makes it appear highlighted.  I'd post an example, but I can't seem to get an image to post here.

The best I could find was something called KKMenu.  It works pretty well, but I still haven't found a popup-menu docklet that will handle non-standard image sizes/shapes.  My menu items are actually PNG files that are wide, but vertically thin -- so that when stacked together, with no intervening space, they look like menu items in a standard menu, only I am in control of exactly what each selection looks like.  I also have a mouseover image for each one, so that they appear to hilite.  Maybe sometime I'll write my own docklet.
