- I have had the same problem pop up twice now.
-
- MENUMAKER
- ---------
-
- It occurs when I write a menumaker in Desktop C and install it.
- First of all it works just fine -- BUT when the user of the application
- adjust-clicks on the menu it leaps right about 4 to 5 mm. Now this is the
- second time this has happened and last time I just stopped using a menumaker
- this time I have little choice.
-
- QUESTION
- --------
-
- Can a menu change state while the user is viewing it?
-
- My menu has RUN and STOP. When running RUN is greyed and STOP is selectable
- however if the program completes the task while the user is viewing the menu
- then they should swap around. You may RUN it again but since it IS stopped you
- cant stop it. Do I have to leave all items selectable due to an inadequacy in
- the interface manager.
