Hi all,
> But how is it possible to select the item "A2" ?
I'm not sure what you really want to do.
If you have a menu like
Item 1
Item 2
Item 2.1
Item 2.2
Item 2.2.1
Item 2.2.2
Item 3
such that the button looks basically like this when you select Item 2.2
Item 1
Item 2 > Item 2.2 > Item 2.2.1
Item 3 Item 2.2.2
If you release the mouse while over Item 2.2 nothing happens because you
haven't actually selected a menu item.
If you move over Item 2.2.1 and release the mouse button then the result of
the menuPick is:
Item 2|Item 2.2|Item 2.2.1
If you want to track these separately, parse the result into different
variables and use them. An example of doing this would be:
put "Item 2|Item 2.2|Item 2.2.1" into menuSelection
replace "|" with "," in menuSelection
put item 2 of menuSelection
-----> "Item 2.2"
Hope this helps...
A learning newbie,
Jim
