Hi George -
Capture message #6947 for the example program. See if that works for you (in a
gfx window of course).
A menu will appear if you're doing a GetSel and the arrow is over a top menu
item. WindInt handles it from there, then returns the selection numbers to
you.
The window/menu descriptor arrays are not described, because the whole point
was to hide all the technical guts to make things easier. The M-V manual (the
section on C interfacing) contains the info about what these structures
contain.
So instead of a basic09 programmer needing to become part asm-programmer (and
set up TYPEd arrays, use Syscall, etc), the idea was to create commands which
diddled those structures from a higher-level Basic-like syntax. The space for
the structures was still needed, however, so I had to make you DIM memory for
them. Strings, bytes, whatever... didn't matter... just as long as there was
sufficient space.
Let me know how you fare. best - kev
