=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THERE WERE REQUESTS FOR REPLIES TO GRAPHICS PULL-DOWN MENU DISCOURSE Thanks to the authors. For conciseness this is an abridged version. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= It's not clear to me, but I think you means graphics graphics as opposed to text mode graphics? Anyway, there are a number of shareware products available for text mode (check out any large FTP site like Simtel, Garbo, or WUarchive. When I start using graphics, I will use a commercial package from Island Software. They sell the source, but I think they charge about $200 for the whole thing (that's a very approximate amount--I don't really remember). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TP 6.0 with TurboVision seems to do exactly what you're looking for. There's also a shareware program (I'm not sure it includes Mouse support) available from SIMTEL in PULL55.ARC that does much of what you want. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I know of 'Graphics-Menu', with add-ons like 'Data Entry Designer' and 'Menu Designer'. They advertise regularly in several magazines. I have never seen it in real, but from the advertisement it looks nice. It has everything you ask for. Price (dating from maybe half a year ago) were $179 for the main package and $99 each for the add-ons. Features: - menus, message boxes on graphic screens. - Can be used with Turbo C, Microsoft C, Turbo Pascal - Supports mouse, EMS. Menus can both be activated with mouse and keyboard - Requires MetaWindow ($200 ?) or BGI. Manufacturer: Island Systems 7 Mountain Rd. Burlington MA 01903 Disclaimer: I have no relation what so ever with this firm. I'm very interested to hear about any other tips you get. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= There is "Turbo Menus Generator" by Abbot,Foster, & Hauserman Co., 44 Montgomer y Street, Fifth Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104 (800) 562-0025 or (415) 955-271 1.
