Re: doMenu

I agree Tor. The problem with doMenu is, what happens when you want to create your own menu group? None of the doMenu calls to the standard menus will work anymore. Bob S > On Jul 10, 2018, at 02:07 , Tore Nilsen via use-livecode > wrote: > > I cannot answer your question about the sending

Re: doMenu

If you are writing all of the code yourself, then it should not be a problem knowing what the handler sparked by the menu item should do.Here is how I teach my students to structure their code when they want the user to be able to perform the same action from various controls: In the stack scri

Re: DoMenu not working right?

Ah! I didn't read that far. I don't think menuPick will work, unless the Livecode default menu is actually an IDE menubar. It's not really important now, I just ran into it whilst trying to use the message box to get the properties of the selected object without having to manually pop a menu.

Re: DoMenu

Hello Richard,I disagree with your conclusion that DoMenu was necessary in HyperCard because that language wasn't rich enough to build an entire IDE in.DoMenu was an integral part of HyperCard's ease-of learning-to-program.One command (doMenu) versus many commands to learn/use/remember.Part of t
