hi dear builders,
I got a problem to share a PopupMenu between 2 forms with their own
RichEdit (on each form 1 RichEdit)
I've tryed to share the PopupMenu with the below code...unsucessfully...
All I need, is to share the functionality of the PopupMenu so this:
WorkingRichEdit->Text = "test...";
should work for the currently active FormX->RichEditX->Text...
thanks for any help on this..

/*******************************************************/
// in..Form1
TForm1 *Form1;
TRichEdit* WorkingRichEdit; // global variable to hold the currently
RichEdit..
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner):TForm(Owner){}
void __fastcall TForm1::cmdSetTextClick(TObject *Sender) // this is the
PopupMenu->OnClick()
{
WorkingRichEdit->Text = "test...";
}
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Form2->Show();
}
void __fastcall TForm1::FormShow(TObject *Sender)
{
WorkingRichEdit = RichEdit_1;
}
/********************************************************/
// in Form2
TForm2 *Form2;
__fastcall TForm2::TForm2(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner) {}
void __fastcall TForm2::FormShow(TObject *Sender)
{
WorkingRichEdit = RichEdit_2;
}

your actual code look like? Are you using the popup menu's PopupComponent
property at all? That is a pointer to the component that is currently
invoking the popup menu.

well all I need is this...
when the PopupMenu gets clicked from Form2->RichEdit_2 it should paste the
text to Form2->RichEdit_2 NOT into Form1->RichEdit_1 (like it does now in my
code)
and of course when the PopupMenu gets clicked from Form1->RichEdit_1 it
should paste
it correctly into Form1->RichEdit_1 and NOT into: Form2->RichEdit_2
how can I handle it..? I tryed also with:
//in Header...
extern TRichEdit* WorkingRichEdit; // global variable accesable in all
Forms...
but it also doesn't work :-( can you help me...?

one PopupMenu that pastes the text...It still does paste the text into
RichEdit_1
NOT into RichEdit_2 :-(

In the Object inspector you should set the PopupMenu property
for both TRichEdits to i.e. PopupMenu1
yourself.
You should first determine on which TRichEdit PopupMenu1 is used.
So you should have a look at PopupMenu1->PopupComponent when
one of the TMenuItems of that PopupMenu is clicked.
PopupMenu1->PopupComponent will be i.e. RichEdit1 or RichEdit2.

is displayed. Just use it when needed. For example:
void __fastcall TForm1::MenuItem1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
TRichEdit *re =
dynamic_cast<TRichEdit*>(PopupMenu1->PopupComponent);
if( re )
re->Text = "...";
}
