Hi, I have been searching for a well done menubar teaching stack? Any one
have one, or have a stack to share that I can study. The revmenubar is more
complex than I need.
Thanks, Andrew
Since I've run into a bug creating the most ludicrously overflowing rev breaking menuBar in recorded
history, and my spam blocker had me off the list for awhile these seems like a good time and place
for me to jump back into things.
It would help if i knew what you were trying to accomplish of course, but here is the simple system.
Menu Builder, add items, generate the skeleton of the button scripts with that provided button, then
edit the script and fill in the needed data between the cases.
Script By Hand: Single Menu Items
on menuPick myPick switch myPick case "Open" answer file "Pick some file" if it is not empty then put it into myFile open file myFile for read read from file myFile until eof put it into field 1 end if break end switch end menuPick
the pattern follows for all other options, after two or three of those you've got it down to a science.
Script by hand: Multiple items/sub items
Lets say we have an item we want as sub menu, we'll put it into a button called myMenu of our menuBar group called "myMainMenu", you do this
put "toplevel menu" & return & tab & "second level" into cd btn "myMenu" of group "myMainMenu"
to add a third level of menu into that same button works like this
put "toplevel menu" & return & tab & "second level" & return & tab & tab & "third level" into cd btn "myMenu" of group "myMainMenu"
Now to pick from this you would use this process.
on menuPick myPick1 myPick2
put myPick1 & myPick2 into myRealPick
--- a multi level menu pick of this button would produce "toplevel menu | second level menu | third level"
--- I've added space so you can see the bar character which denotes the items picked
switch myRealPick
case "toplevel menu|second level menu|third level"
---do something with your item picked
---I've not found a way of picking the top two levels in a button like this, seems you must pick the final sub item
break
end switch
end menuPick
OK hope that helps, if you run into trouble just shout.
Mr Bill
