popup of menu (functionality not correct implemented...)

[David Burgun]

Hi,

All you have to do is this:

function GetMenuItem theMenuItemName
put lineOffset(theMenuItemName,the text of button "popUp") into my myMenuItem
return myMenuItem



Then use it like this:

set the menuHistory of button "popUp" to GetMenuItem("TheMenuString")

All the Best
Dave
