[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] What? No popup menus?

yost@esquire.UUCP (David A. Yost) (03/06/90)

I'm just getting my feet wet in SuperCard,
and I was horrified to find that one apparently
can't make a popup menu on a card -- you
can only add menus to the menu bar.

Am I missing something?

What other standard Mac user interface components
are not implemented in SuperCard?

There are a bunch of XCMD's floating around that let you do popup menus in
HyperCard.  I've used a couple in SuperCard and they work just fine.

Most other standard Mac user interface components not implemented in SuperCard
(such as a file selection dialog) are also available as XCMD's.
