No, it is not possible using Windows standard menus.

A solution is to create a user defined Class that looks like a popup menu, so you have full control on it.

You may review FWH\source\TPanel.prg which it is a very simple and easy to understand Class and use it as a skeleton to build your own popup menu Class.

Think about the differences between a panel and a popup menu: an array of items, you have to paint them, and select one of them with the mouse or the keyboard. It is a good exercise to understand how to build new Classes :-)
