RE: delete menu

2001-05-05 Thread Monte Goulding


 How can I remove a menu from the menubar (not just disable) 
 without this unwanted behaviour?

What about disabling it instead?
 
 Another undocumented issue I've run across: the button ID order 
 in a group affects the order that menus are constructed in.  This 
 can cause the help menu to appear in strange places unless it has 
 the highest ID.  (May be layer order I haven't checked which is 
 the critical factor). 
 
It is layer order. The help button needs to be the highest layer.

I have a metacard stack with a menu, on Mac platform.  If I call:

delete menu authoring

I would think (haven't tried) that you could do this in pretty much two ways:

move the authoring button into and out of the group you're using as 
a menu, or

switch groups. You might be able to still share the button/menus that 
are common between the groups by grouping groups, i.e., have a group 
that is all the buttons you want all the time, and then group that 
group with the authoring button. To remove the authoring button, 
use the sub-group as your menu. But I don't know what MC's behavior 
under this would be.

delete menu

2001-05-04 Thread Rodney Tamblyn

I have a metacard stack with a menu, on Mac platform.  If I call:

delete menu authoring

... I was expecting this to remove the authoring menu, instead the authoring button is 
deleted from the menu group, and the next time the menu is drawn (eg swap to tools 
palette and back) the authoring menu is gone. 

Setting the visibility of the Authoring button to true or false does not change 
whether the menu (in the Mac menubar) is drawn.

How can I remove a menu from the menubar (not just disable) without this unwanted 
behaviour?
