PopUpMenu V1.38 by Martin Adrian 89-10-30
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are you using QMose, DMouse, or HeliosMouse and "always" get the wrong
menues when you press the mousebutton?
Have you ever needed pop-up menues for your Amiga?
The solution: PopUpMenu
Distribution
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This version of the PopUpMenu program is released as Public Domain and may
freely be copied.
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use the program put the file `PopUpMenu' in your current directory.
To turn on the pop-up menues just type:
1> Run PopUpMenu
or even better (Arp 1.3 users)
1> ARun PopUpMenu NOIO STACK 2000 PRI 5
To turn them off, just type:
1> PopUpMenu
Features:
~~~~~~~~~
The Pop-up menues will not show up when you press the menubutton
if any of the following conditions is true:
1) No window is active.
2) The active window has no menues.
3) The active window has the flag RMBTRAP set.
4) The mousepointer is in the screens menubar.
(standard pull-down menues will appear)
5) You are pressing any qualifier key.
(shift, alt, control, left or right Amiga, left (or middle) mousebutton)
Differences from Intuition:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Multiple select is not supported.
2) MENUVERIFY is not supported. (See WARNINGS)
3) The menuitem & subitem windows will show up next to the mousepointer.
(makes selection easier)
4) To allow quicker selections, the menuitem & subitem windows does
not appear until the mousepointer stands still for 3 INTUITICKS.
WARNINGS:
~~~~~~~~~
BIG:
Since the MENUVERIFY is not supported You should be careful when using
programs that changes their menues.
(Don't pop-up the menues directly after an operation that changes the
menues, or you may visit the GURU.)
small:
The PopUpMenu-program uses intuition-windows to show menuitems. It is
possible to fool the program by activating another window.
(This will not crash the amiga but a wrong or no menuevent may be sent)
The mousepointer don't move while a window is opened or closed.
(Intuition bug?)
Solution: Lets wait for Kickstart 1.4.
FUTURE:
~~~~~~~
No improvements or bugfixes will be made to this PublicDomain program
by me. I am currently working on a similar program that uses
SwapBitsRastPortClipRect and supports MENUVERIFY and multiple select.
I intend to release that program as ShareWare in late November or early
December. (1989)
