Menu Builder

[Pete]

Hi Jacque,
The way this app works is that everything happens within the scope of one
stack.  I have groups that get hidden or shown depending on what function
the user selects so I adjust the height of the stack depending on which
function/group is active by reference to the bottom of the group that is
currently visible.  Sorry, it's hard to explain clearly!

I don't really need to change the way the stack height is calculated I
guess, everything still works, just that the stack ends up being 26 pixels
higher than it should.
