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.
I suppose I could just find out what the name of the Object Inspector stack is and open it. :-) Bob S > On Dec 27, 2017, at 14:03 , Richard Gaskin via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Bob Sneidar wrote: > > > Dictionary states: doMenu menuItem [of menu menuName].
