NAME

       al_popup_menu - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>

              bool al_popup_menu(ALLEGRO_MENU *popup, ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display)

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  a  context  menu next to the mouse cursor.  The menu must have been created with
       al_create_popup_menu(3alleg5).  It generates events just like a regular display menu does.
       It is possible that the menu will be canceled without any selection being made.

       The display parameter indicates which window the menu is associated with (when you process
       the menu click event), but does not actually affect where  the  menu  is  located  on  the
       screen.

       Returns true if the context menu was displayed.

              Note:  On  Linux  this  function  will fail if any of the mouse keys are held down.
              I.e.  it will only reliably work if you handle it in ALLEGRO_MOUSE_BUTTON_UP events
              and  even  then  only  if that event corresponds to the final mouse button that was
              pressed.
