I have been trying unsuccessfully to write a 'tools' MDEF and a 'patterns' MDEF in Lightspeed Pascal. Can anyone send me some code in Pascal? (C code wouldn't help me, because I don't know C.) I have written something that approxiates what I want, but: -The 'cells' in the menu are not all drawn. Some are left out in no clear pattern. -As the mouse tracks across the menu, whole sections of the menu are highlighted in random shapes and rhythms. Pretty soon, what little display there is is demolished. -No meaningful numbers are returned by the MDEF. Thank you very much! --Kurisuto (who is not Vasile) email un020070@vaxa.wvnet.edu (not vrm@babcock.cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu)

(C code wouldn't help me, because I don't know C.) The "ObjectDraw" sample program supplied with THINK Pascal 3.0 includes three custom MDEF routines, all written in Pascal, and all integrated as part of the program's source (rather than as a separately built code resource). One MDEF is for tools, one is for patterns, and one is for colors. ObjectDraw also shows off some other pretty cool things, like the fact that you can write programs in Object Pascal without using a class library. :-) (This is a holdover from when ObjectDraw was originally written for version 2.0 of Pascal, and there were no class libraries to speak of...)
