I prefer the tab panel to the drop down menus. The choices are always
visible.
But I have a problem. If a particular tab is selected, it will no
longer respond to a menuPick message.
Normally this is not a problem, but I am using the panel to select
lines or sentences from a long text
In the past, roll your own seems to be the outcome of discussions about tab
panels.

If the menuhistory doesn't change, the tab panel doesn't bother to
update itself. You might be able to hack it with something like
, mouseUp,
instead of menuPick. If it is the same, it generates the menuPick message by
hand.

Thanks everyone. You always come through.
You have taught me a new property: MenuHistory
I have found the following works for me. In place of the MenuPick handler I
used only a mouseUP handler.
(The TabMenu object handles all the highlighting chores.)
on mouseUp
put the menuhistory of me
