First of all many thanks to the folks who helped me out on SetIndString, and now I have working routines SetIndString, AddIndString and RmvIndString... But do I have to do the same sort of things for the Menu Items? Has anybody already written this or there is a ToolBox routine that I am not aware of? What I mean is how do I work on the Menu Items more than SetItem and AppendMenu, like I would like to Insert and remove ... ==Chaoping

If afterItem is 0, the items are inserted before the first menu item; if it's the item number of an item in the menu, they're inserted after that item; if it's equal to or greater than the last item number, they're appended to the menu. The contents of itemString are parsed as in the AppendMenu procedure. Mul- tiple items are inserted in the reverse of their order in itemString. PROCEDURE DelMenuItem(theMenu: MenuHandle; item: INTEGER); DelMenuItem deletes the specified item from the given menu. Rick Wong.

See IM 4, p55ff: the 128K and later ROMS have PROCEDURE InsMenuItem (theMenu: MenuHandle; itemString: Str255; afterItem: INTEGER); and PROCEDURE DelMenuItem (theMenu: MenuHandle; item: INTEGER); Your favorite compiler ought to support these. Traps if you need for asm, are A826 and A952 respectively. =Ned Horvath=

Here is another IM error concerning menus. (I lost the address of the guy at Apple who is collecting these.) IM V-241 PopUpMenuSelect, the result is a pascal integer (short) not a longint. Dan LaLiberte National Center for Supercomputing Applications liberte@ncsa.uiuc.edu

The result of PopUpMenuSelect is a longint, with the Menu ID in the high word, and the item number in the low word. It is in the same format as the result of MenuSelect. Earle R.

PopupMenuSelect *DOES* return a long (as documented), not a short. The hi-order part of the long contains the PopUpMenu's menu ID, and the lo-order part of the long contains the selected menu's item number. Mike Puckett jmpdude@apple.com

Anyway, I hope Apple is checking these documentation error reports as well as (or better than) they check software. Correct documentation (including known bugs) is very important. dan
