<![CDATA[Outside the interface]]>With comboboxes it's possible to have a contextual menu outside the interface like this.

How can I use childPanels to achieve the same result (go outside the interface), do I need to go in to the source code to change some code, in that case, what shall I search for and where?

@David-Healey but a child panel can not go outside its parent boundaries

When you said achieve the same result with a child panel I thought you meant the panel's popup menu. :)

Since child panels are still panels, this would mean any component could draw outside the main window which would be weird…

I think you need to somehow constrain your design within the window’s boundaries.
