create a menubar on mac

[Thierry-24]

Hi all,

Still struggling to understand some behavior with
the creation of Menubar....

Rev Studio 2.9 on MacOS Tiger.

made 3 buttons: M1 M2 and M3
each has few items.

When I try my stack, get the 3 menus, but can see
only the first item of M1 and M3, M2 is fine. The last item of
M3 goes under the Revolution Menu ( or Metacard ).
Doesn't see any difference between M1 and M2 !

I've made the menubar by hand, and then with the
Menu Builder.. no differences.

Any links or ideas what I'm missing will be
greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Thierry

On Macs, the Quit menu item and the preferences menu item are moved to
the application's menu. Rev handles this by allowing you to create and
script the menus as usual, but then deleting the last two items of the
File menu, assuming they are a divider and Quit, and deleting the last
two items of the Edit menu, assuming they are a divider and
Preferences. Rev does not check to see if this is correct - it just
takes those last two items regardless. Normally, this is what you
want. The script for the Quit & Preferences items is still held in the
relevant menus.

HTH,
Sarah

YES ! Help a lot :-)

So, now it works and for the sake of truth,
Rev deletes also the last 2 items of the last menu ( Help )
which should be a delimiter and the "About..." item, right ?
( don't have a PC right now )

Is this the only trick compared to PC's menus ?

And, by the way, someone can show me where this is
written in the Documentation ?

Thanks and enjoy your day.

Regards,
Thierry

Oh yes, I forgot that one. You are quite correct - Rev applies the
same technique to the Help menu.
