- Hi,
-
- this is something I have played with for quite some time now, and I
- wonder if someone (Matt?) could give me some input on this.
-
- What I want to do is have a way to implement hierarchic menus, and
- that w/o a lot of effort to the programmer who has to use them
- afterwards.
-
- I've looked into the problem a bit, one idea was to do it as a custom
- menu ... but I'm not quite sure that would really work that well, unless
- I supplied a bunch of extra routines to deal with it in a user tool.
-
- I do not care about multiple levels, having hierarchic menu entries that
- just trigger a (non-hierarchic) pop-up would be just fine as far as I'm
- concerned. Also, I won't think about hierarchic pop-ups right now, just
- "normal" bar menus.
-
- One problem is: If I do this as a custom menu, which routine would handle
- the hierarchic stuff? mChoose? Not really what it is supposed to do. So,
- do I have to write my own menu manager subset?
-
- Some insight on this would be great
