You can make them at the top of the page using the menu configuration options (at least in Citect 2015).  But do you want one to open from a button somewhere on a page?

What version of Citect are you using?

Hi,

Just found this, you can use the DspPopupMenu function.  You then need to use Cicode to do stuff with the menu options, but calling DspPopUpMenu(-1) will return which option was chosen.  Below is some example code taken from one of our projects.  The StrGetField function is not a built in function but it just returns an item from a comma separated list.

FUNCTION DropdownTrendMenu(STRING sDisplayNames, STRING sPavNames)

	INT i = 0;
	INT iMenuOption = 0;
	STRING sPav = "";
	OBJECT hProcessAnalyst;
	
	DspPopupMenu(0, sDisplayNames)
	iMenuOption = DspPopupMenu(-1);
	
	IF iMenuOption > 0 THEN
		sPav = StrGetField(sPavNames, iMenuOption, ",");
	
		IF sPav <> "" THEN
			IF FileExist(PathToStr("[Run]:" +"\Analyst Views\" + sPav + ".pav")) THEN
			
				PageDisplay("ProcessAnalyst");
				
				SleepMS(200);
		
				hProcessAnalyst = ObjectByName("AN206");
				CSV_PA_LoadPavFile(hProcessAnalyst, sPav);
				_ObjectCallMethod(hProcessAnalyst, "SynchroniseToNow");	
		
		    END
		END
	END
END
