- a program that i've been working on has a hierarchical menu. The menu
- has worked just fine. but today i decided to make the menu dynamic--the
- user can add or delete from the menu. of course, i wish to have the changes
- last between sessions, so after i got it working, i saved the menu in
- the preferences file. now the menu refuses to show up when i add it
- to the menu bar. everthing worked until i changed the location of the menu
- to the preferences file. the menu is retrieved from the file ok, with the
- items intact, it just doesn't popup when i try to go to the hierarchical
- menu.
-
- so is this something i just have to deal with? are menus supposed to
- be located only in one resource file? or have other people not encountered
- this problem?
-
- thanx for any advice.
