- Sub: 2.0ß9 Suggestions
-
- Just upgrading to 2.0ß9 and have some suggestions/questions:
-
- 1) It would be nice if GetMenuColors (in UDialog.inc1.p) were added to the
- Interface of that unit, so those of us overriding TPopUp, or creating a new
- menu control object, could make use of it.
-
- 2) The voluminous documentation gives short shrift to the topic of
- segmentation. I assume it is buried in the MacApp manual, and will be easier to
- find in the future; still the Introduction, Tutorial, and Cookbook say next to
- nothing. I think a first time user should understand the issue early enough to
- give some thought to the matter, before they have to go back and add all those
- $S directives!
-
- 3) I'd like to suggest a new utility "ReleaseMemory" which determines whether
- it should dispose of a handle either by calling ReleaseResource or by calling
- DisposHandle. This should help simplify the handling of fields that MAY be
- resources.
-
- 4) Really minor: I was surprised to find that none of the text files
- distributed with MacApp have MPSR resources in them. How come? Since there is a
- 'vers' resource in each file, keeping the MPSR resource would not actually use
- any disk space, and it would make the files more legible (since my default tabs
- are different than yours).
-
- Thanks,
