[VBA] Right Click Popup Menu from Userform

Try using the MouseDown event. A Button value of 2 equates to the right click. 

Private Sub TxtBxNorthing_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
    If Button = 2 Then
        Set odata = New DataObject
        odata.Clear
        odata.SetText Me.TxtBxNorthing.Text
        odata.PutInClipboard
    End If
End Sub

FWIW.  This topic would probably receive more authoritative input from Microsoft programming forums.  From my quick look I would suggest reviewing the Microsoft VBIDE and a respective Microsoft Office object model; and implement similar code as found in this Microsoft post: Adding and Displaying Shortcut Menus

HTH,

The problem for us is that the Microsoft Office implementation of VBA includes a CommandBars object.  It's the absence of that object in MicroStation VBA that makes it hard to add a menu.  I'd be happy to be shown to be wrong  8-)

From what I can recall of my earlier effort, The popup menu was pretty crude and did not function 100% like a true right click menu, but resembled one enough that users could follow its intent.

I'm thinking, it might have even been a hidden, raised listbox that I made visible at the cursor position, if that's possible. This was over 5 years ago so it's s pretty distant memory.

I cannot be sure this is how I did it, as much of what I just tried is not familiar at all. But it appears to be a possibility.

Created a List Box on my user form using these properties - Key items: BackColor (menu color), Special Effect - Raised, Visible = False, Column width (smaller than text placed in it - prevents scroll bars).

With userForm code along these lines:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.ListBox1.AddItem ("Copy")
    Me.ListBox1.AddItem ("Paste")
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
    If Button = 2 Then
        Me.ListBox1.ListIndex = -1
        Me.ListBox1.Top = Y - (Me.ListBox1.Height / 2)
        Me.ListBox1.Left = X - (Me.ListBox1.Width / 2)
        Me.ListBox1.Visible = True
        Me.ListBox1.Font.Size = 10
    ElseIf Button = 1 Then
        Me.ListBox1.Visible = False
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
    If Me.ListBox1.ListIndex = 0 Then Debug.Print "Copy to Clipboard"
    If Me.ListBox1.ListIndex = 1 Then Debug.Print "Paste from Clipboard"
    Me.ListBox1.Visible = False
End Sub

As you can see, this version only writes to the immediate window - but if that works, my copy to clibboard code will work.

Initially, I placed the .Top and .Left of the list box at Y and X. But I decided to center the list box on the mouse to keep mouse clicks too near an edge from looking too strange - as the listbox does not really float over the form like a commandbar.

I made an example about "pop-up menu on userform "

That screenshot looks like Excel.  As I wrote already, an Office VBA macro that uses the CommandBars object won't work with MicroStation VBA.  MicroStation VBA does not provide a CommandBars object.
