Re: Stack Menu Mystery - Disappointing Documentation (Long, sorry)

Still sketchy about the last time you actually created a menu from scratch using the menu builder but no matter. Rolling your own works fine. I just don’t want new users to feel that there is a problem if there currently is not. Bob S On Nov 25, 2014, at 13:29 , John Dixon mailto:dixo...@hotm

There is a checkbox in the menu builder called Set as Stack Menu bar. I’m wondering if that is what everyone means by a stack menu? If so, it seems that in order for your application to look and feel like a *real* app, you will need to employ this, at least for some apps. I have never heard of

Hi Bob I was just trying to find out what a stack menu IS. I don’t know whether you can build one with the menu builder or not, but what I was looking for was an explanation as to the what, the why and the how. I suppose the how might have included menu builder. When I start a new project I

Stack Menu

I'm using the feature to name a stack to display when a menu is clicked instead of showing the values in the menu button's text. All works great except that when the stack is displayed, the button with the lowest layer is hilited. I'd prefer that no buttons are hilited at that point but haven't b
