Hi Torsten,

tnx for your reply.

*******
This is the source code extract:

  void panel1_mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
  {
    // this works great!!
    // jPopupMenu1.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX() , e.getY() );

    try
    {
        // this does not!!
      java.lang.Object  pnl;
      pnl = e.getComponent() ;
      popupMenu1.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX() , e.getY() );
    }
    catch (Exception e2)
    {
      e2.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}
