- At last! I can post to Usenet without having to ask other people to do it for
- me!
-
- I am having major hassles trying to do something very simple. In of one
- of my programs, I have a menu option that pulls the back window to the
- front of the screen. This works fine. I am also following the Acorn
- convention that an Adjust menu selection should keep the menu up on screen.
- This also works fine.
-
- The problem comes when I adjust select the cycle option to pull the back
- window forward. The window manager reopens my menu as it was, but puts the
- window in front of it. It seems to do this no matter which order I create the
- menu and move the window in.
-
- Am I missing something very obvious here? Please can someone help?
-
- Thanks,
-
- Robin
