- Rob,
- (cc: OpenDoc-interest because you may be thinking of doing the same thing.)
- We designed the user interface NOT to do this. It's confusing to implement
- and confusing to use menus that aren't obviously attached to the currently
- active part. We looked carefully at OLE's menu sharing scheme and decided
- against doing that in OpenDoc.
-
- If you can tell me WHAT you are trying to accomplish, I believe I can
- suggest a better interface.

- Thanks...
- Dave
