setting menuHistory by script not working

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Terry.


What do you mean when you say "set by script"? In a handler in a button?



on mouseUp

  set the menuHistory of btn "yourOptionButton" to random(3)


end mouseUp


This works fine.


Write back.

Same result with the IDE active and suspended.

For now I'm using a hack that opens and closes an invisible window to force the 
menus to update, but even that doesn't work all of the time.
