Dear Vixens and Reynards:
How do I change the main menu on the fly in my app and have the
changes stick?
Actually, I have just solved this, but I have no idea why my
change works.
My menu setup code has
set sysmenu automatic
set sysmenu to _medit
I then define various pads on _msysmenu and popups on the pads. This
code has worked fine for nearly twenty years.
The problem is that I now want to be able to change the
menu. When my setup menu code is executed, it works in that I can
see that the menu does change. However, as soon as it returns out of
one of the methods in the execution stack, the menu reverts to what
it was before.
My solution was a lucky guess. I inserted
push menu _msysmenu
between the two set commands. Note that I do not have a pop menu anywhere.
Why do menu changes get thrown away sometimes? Why does my
change work? The docs are rather less than clear in this area.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
