Has anyone got a windoid/tear-off menu WDEF/MDEF? I've heard repeatedly that the HyperCard windoid will appear in System 7.0; is there any "pre-release" version of this code available now?

Well, in my opinion, the best place to start would be the article about tear-off menus and palettes by Don Melton & Mike Ritter in the April 1988 issue of MacTutor. They include a windoid WDEF and a custom MDEF that handles dragging the outline around. The code is written in THINK C, and is available on MacTutor Source Code Disk #31. It does require some extra code in your event loop to handle to handle the floating windoids, but their scheme works nicely and doesn't step on the compatibilty guidelines (that I know of). -- Amanda Walker

The April 1988 (I think) issue of MacTutor has an article that expalins how to do this. It's in C and source code disks are available for $8.50. ____________________________________________________________________ Have a day. :^| Murat N.
