Anyone having problems using the menu editor in the WhiteWater Resource Toolkit? I'm seeing two distinct nasties that make it distinctly awkward to use: 1. If I mark a menu item as 'gray', it comes out grayed and disabled in the app's menu as it should. But when I re-edit the menu, WRT shows its status as being 'grayed' (note the 'ed' on the end). And the menu item is now drawn in normal text and is active. They seem to have got both 'gray' and 'grayed' defined in the status list, and only the former one actually works.... 2. I can define a menu so that the popup from the menu bar has an item with a sub-popup, like this: menu_bar_item sub_item1 sub_item2 sub_sub_item1 sub_sub_item2 and it works fine. But if I extend the menu to have an item _after_ the one with the sub-popup, like this: menu_bar_item sub_item1 sub_item2 sub_sub_item1 sub_sub_item2 sub_item3 Then again it works fine, but on editing the menu a second time 'sub_item3' (and any item following at the same level) gets moved to the menu bar. Bug (1) can be circumvented by the app using EnableMenuItem() to _ensure_ the menu is OK if I forget to correct the introduced bugs, but (2) is a bit nasty to do inside the app. I'm using what's probably the first release of WRT (we ordered it as soon as the Windows 3 version was announced). Anyone know of a later version or a patch to fix these problems? Thanks, Alan Phillips Lancaster University, UK

It functions, you just have to guess where the hotspot is. If you go over the sizing blocks etc, it switches to the hand instead of the "all direction pointing arrorws". Again, this doesn't prevent functionality, it's just a bother. Clif Westin MIS Prog/Analy. VeriFone Inc.
