Hello,
I am using a pulldown menu button and I would like to disable single menu
items.
Is there a straight forward approach to change the color of a single menu
Item and disable it?
Like set the textcolor of line 2 of the text of btn myPullDownMenu to
grey (what doesn't work)
Thanks

The general solution for processing an arbitrarily large file is to use
read from file xx for yy chars
in a loop until you don't get that many chars back, indicating that you've
reached the end. Of course, you then need some way to process the data in
chunks (not necessarily the same

Dr. Hawkins, Richard,
As I continue to wrestle with this I'm discovering there seems to be
some incompatibility between stack versions. The main stack I have was
created long ago in 6.5.2.
I access a remote MySQL db(diesel) when the app starts up. It takes a couple of
seconds to do a few reads and writes. I will put a db write inbetween cards and
see how long it takes.

Please note Dr Hawkin's recent post that this command is stackable, so if
you accidentally disable the menuitem twice if you then issue a single
enable command the menuitem will remain disabled.

could lock messages then close and reopen the stack, but it would have to

One caveat however is that if the script that opened the modal stack has more

Granted there have been many instances where bad encoding or slow rates

To answer my own question, don’t try to close a stack then reopen it while

I say yes. At the very least, progress indicators really REALLY need
concurrency, if for nothing else than the animation. Plus, concurrency can be
used to *queue* complex time consuming operations with databases and such. Data
grids for example could queue up “pages” of data in the background
