Where do I find the menu group in the IDE? I have two substacks
with text fields with the menu information. When I use the menu
setup it sets up the menu which works fine in MacOS X but it is in
small (6 or 8) in the Windows. I went into the control panel of
Windows an increase the font size of the menu and it increased the
Windows bar but the app menu below is still the same. So my problem
is finding the menu group in the IDE which effects the Windows/App
menu. I may not be setting the app menu properly, I let LiveCode do
it I I don't see a menu in the application browser.??
Two ways. It's in the application browser. Click on any card that
contains your menu. It should be one of the groups on the card. On
Windows, you can also see it at the top of the card. On Mac, you can see
it if you do this in the message box:
set the editmenus of this stack to true
That will unscroll the window so the menu group shows.
But I agree that my first advice wasn't the best, the menu should really
adjust according to the user's preference setting in Windows. Because
it's just a regular LiveCode group, it won't respond to the system
settings, as you found out. Right now adjusting for system settings
isn't as easy to do as it could be; you need to read the registry. There
are also different default font and size settings for different versions
of Windows.
For now, you could check to see what the LiveCode menu uses and just use
that (I'd look it up for you but I haven't got Windows running right
now. Maybe someone else remembers.)
