- Sub: Modal Dialogs/Menu disabling
-
- Hi,
- in MPW, when you use commando all menu's are disabled except for the edit
- menu. I need to duplicate this functionality for my modal dialogs that contain
- edit text. How can I do this in MacApp. I have overridden
- TMyApplication.InModalMenuState to see if the front window's fIsModal field is
- true, but all this does is not allow menu clicks, it doesn't gray the menu's I
- want it to and it doesn't leave the edit menu enabled. The method I will try
- next is to override the dialog views DoSetUpMenus to not call inherited. This
- may be the solution, but even if it is I would like your opinions on the best
- way to do it.
- Also, there is a bug in View Edit that won't allow you to change the class
- name for a TDialogView. I have been going in with a file editor and changing
- the name in the resource directly (requiring me to invent names exactly 11
- characters long). I want to avoid having to derez and rez. Has this bug been
- fixed? How can I get a version that doesn't have it?
-
- Thanks,
