Many programs have the ability to make the menu bar disappear. Some do it while leaving the rest of the desktop visible, such as GifConverter and HyperCard. Some, such as screen savers, erase the whole screen and start with a fresh one. How can I do this? I've looked throughout Inside Mac and Apple's TechNotes. Nothing on hiding the menu bar. My compiler (THINK Pascal) calls InitWindows on its own, so I can't exactly get around creating the empty menu bar, nor do I want to. Can anybody help me? Thanks...

You can probably find the exact name of the System Global in the back of IM or a debugger manual. If you want to see an example of it, investigate 'Macintosh Programming Primer', Vol.1. Just make sure to get it's original height and restore it once you've had your fun with it. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ No matter what you do, somebody always knew that you would... ==============================================================================

There is a great article on menu bar hiding by Earle Horton. It's in Pascal. The UMPG can be found on the New System seven golden CD. I just got my copy today.
