Hi. I'm having a bit of a problem accessing class information from new
menu items added to a celview. Perhaps someone else knows the solution
to the problem I'm seeing?
I've defined an object using ADEW (arb, createcon, etc). It's an lset with
a stringV in the top part and and a text-panel combination in the bottom.
I've set the menulist for one of the subviews (the StringV) via:
testlistMenus = menulist_New();
bind_BindList(testlistBindings, NULL, testlistMenus, viewtype);
if ( (cv = celview_GetCelviewFromView(self->titleView)) != NULL) {
celview_SetMenulist(cv, testlistMenus);
celview_Repost(cv);
}
All OK so far. The new menus show up when I hit the middle button.
(Curiously,
if I pick the panel view, they don't show up). Now comes the problem.
When the routines connected to the menu items get called, they are called
with a celview pointer. However, what I want to access from those
menu routines is the class data for the class I've defined with ADEW.
(called testlist in my case). Can I get there from here?
Thanks very much,
Bill Schell

The static FindSelf() routine, created by createcon and included in your testlist object, can be used by your menu routine. When passed a pointer to any view in the application, FindSelf() will return a pointer to the relevant testlist object.
