Hi everyone,

After a previous angry mail about Rev inconsistency regarding  
disabled submenus items with successive releases of Rev, I revised my  
How-To stack dedicated to menus building in order to make it working  
with all versions of Rev 2.x...

How-To stack #008:
How to build on the fly a pulldown menu with sub-menus from an  
outline stored into a custom property.
How to add contextual items, checkmark, activate or disable menu  
items, etc.
How to respond to the user actions: choosing a menu item, using a  
keyboard shortcut, etc.
Added a print function and some tips about cross-platform contextual  
menus behaviour.

Directly by pasting into the message box:
go url "http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/downloads/Managing%20Menus.rev"

In a few days, I will replace all these means of access by a single  
stack, a kind of shell, linked to my web site and released as a  
plugin: it will make the maintenance easier and will ensure that you  
have last updates as new ones immediatly to hand.

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
