peter- actually i wanted to be notified before the menu is closed, because i'm freeing some resources when the menu is closed, but i'm depending on those resources to be around when it comes time to execute the menu item's action. perhaps i can't free those resources and need to take care of that somewhere else?
thanks, augusto.
