Thanks for the thought Bob. I'm such a Mac person that I neglected to think of that; also, as part of that myopia I dislike having the menus on the Window's real-estate. Apple got it right. M$ did not. IMHO! Joe Wilkins On Nov 29, 2010, at 3:17 PM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > I have thought for a lon

I have thought for a long time that Menus in Rev/LiveCode should actually be a special kind of object unto themselves, not a group of objects set as a background. However, consider Windows, where menus are a part of the window itself, and you will begin to see why it almost has to work this way.

Hi John, So this is a known anomaly. Unfortunately both the source and target stacks use Menus with the same name; something that I should have realized would be a problem, but until I started moving cards around the problem was not apparent. Maybe I can change one of the names without loosing

Take a note of the name of the menu 'group' from the card of the stack you wish to be copied... lets say group "menuBar 1" Copy the card to the 'target' stack... Then delete the group "menuBar 1" If it is still as clear as 'mud'... I can send you a stack to show you... > From: pepe...@cox.net >
