I have finally found the key in syntax that I have been searching literally months for to free me from the awful ribbon interface.inputmanager popupitem [Number 1],[Number 2]This will force numerous dialogues, sub-dialogues and drop down menus into a popup item directly under my mouse cursor!
For example
inputmanager popupitem -548,2 => Opens the reference manager
inputmanager popupitem -548,3 => Opens the raster manager
inputmanager popupitem -605,3 => Opens the colour dropdown menu for attributes
inputmanager popupitem -605,4 => Opens the line style dropdown menu for attributes
The problem is there is no documentation available for me listing all available [Number 1],[Number 2] combinations. Brute forcing with random numbers brings up some wild results.The closest information I can find is Keyins to toggle dialogs and toolboxes (pre-V8) and refers to a now non-existent file called Program\MicroStation\mdl\include\dlogids.h
Can someone please point me in the right direction?I have tried using dmsg dialogdebug onbut it is not providing great results, especially with post v8i components
You can also use the dialog series of keyins:
dialog reference open
Not all of those will trigger as popups,
inputmanager popupitem [Number 1],[Number 2]
Brute forces popup functionality. You have no idea how many hours of my life I've spent trying to get this to finally happen.
I want to be able to select and operate EVERY tool, command and dialogue from directly under my mouse cursor, and not have to scribble about my screen fiddling with static items.

File dlogids.h was delivered with the MicroStation V8 SDK. It has metamorphosed to C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\SDK\include\Mstn\MdlApi\dlogids.r.h. It is available once you have installed the MicroStation CONNECT SDK.

Not a big fan of Ribbon, but it seems best to go ahead and use it as all future mods to the UI will be ribbon based.

Over my rotting corpse will I suffer with static tools. The goal of all creative software should be to allow the user to customise their tools to the nth degree.It's like giving Shaquille O'Neal a Ferrari, but he's only allowed to drive it with the seat and mirror settings built for Danny DeVito
