We have a project consisting of a number of programs that interact with a HyperCard stack. All the programs in this project are supposed to have two menus (in addition to their normal menus) - one menu lists the other programs in the project and will launch them, and the other menu sends apple events to the hypercard stack or other programs. The apple event parameters will sometimes include the name of the front window.
We have source code for some of the programs, so they are no problem to modify. For other programs, like Excel, we can add macros and external functions to get it to do what we want. However, some programs are simply not customizable to the extent that we need. For these programs, it seems that we need to do something like the Thunder spelling checker, which adds its own menu to the menubar of specific applications.
The only problem is that I am not guru enough to know how to do this. Could anyone please help me with explanation and/or pointers to example code?
