Make your menu, then at some point after just set it to:

Appearance button  _ Your PopBtnID,, desired

I do mine after I have created it, and just before making the window 
visible. You can probably do it when making it too.

Ken (I do believe) showed me this trick for getting it to show up more 
instantly (like when using a key filter) on certain occasions

appearance button  -_YourPopBtnID,, desired
appearance button  _ Your PopBtnID,, desired

One thing I have found that gets me on occasion is when creating 
popups, and copying code from another...I forget the maximum setting is 
item specific....if you leave it too low, you can't select beyond that 
point.
