How to create menu on one level with "File", "Edit" etc?

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 15:16:54 GMT

My .grc file has next content:


'STR#' 32500 "Strings for the Menu" {
/* [   ] */     "Menu name"
/* [   1] */	    "item 1"
/* [   2] */	    "item2"
}

and menu was placed as submenu of "Options".

How can I move my menu one level up? What can I do with "32500" number?

Thanks

You can specify the menu position with the APIMenuCodeID passed with the call to ACAPI_Register_Menu. If I understand your intentions correctly, I think you want MenuCode_UserDef.

I was moved my menu on top level and now have next menu:


MyMenu
`SubMenu
``SubSubMenu1
``SubSubMenu2
``...
``SubSubMenuN

But I want to create menu like this:


MyMenu
`SubMenu1
`SubMenu2
`...
`SubMenuN

One way - it's creation of N 'STR#' sections in my .grc file like this:


'STR#' 32500 "Strings for the Menu" {
/* [   ] */     "MyMenu"
/* [   1] */	    "SubMenuN"
}

Than register them all and use own MenuHandler for each SubMenu.
But it's unwieldy way - I should to create new MenuHandler when add new SubMenu anytime.

Can you suggest more acceptable way? Thanks

No - that's the way it works.

It's really bad to create own description in .grc file for each first level submenu item.

Thanks a lot, Ralph
