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 script:
on makeNewGraphic
set the style of the templateGraphic to polygon
create graphic "zzz"
set the points of grc «zzz" to fld "PTZ"
end makeNewGraphic
Script in the button:
on mouseUp
makeNewGraphic
end mouseUp
Script in the menu:
on menuPick pItem
switch pItem
case «Make new graphic»
makeNewGraphic
break
default #or other cases
Do something else
break
end menuPick
This way you only need to know what you would like the button or the menu item
to do, and call the appropriate handler for this.
