I'm about to release the very fast new version of my program to convert IW keywords to upper / lowercase, but I have a question (as always).
An option I've added in is the ability to quickly create a basic window, send it to the clipboard ready for you to paste into a new file or code - saves a lot of time and I've already found it handy.
BUT - there may be other tools you want to add into my programs "Tools" menu (menu options), and the question is this:
How do I (or my program that is) know how many tools you've added, and if you add a new one how to I get the program to select it and run it.
Example:
BEGINMENU w1
MENUTITLE "&File"
MENUITEM "Quit",0,MenuQuit
MENUTITLE "Tools"
MENUITEM "Create a window",0,MenuWindow
MENUITEM "Create a dialog",0,MenuDialog
MENUITEM "Create a console",0,MenuConsole
MENUTITLE "Options"
MENUITEM "Change options",0,MenuChange
ENDMENU
How would I add in a new
MENUITEM "Your tool",0,"your control"
and add this into the window's handler?
CASE @IDMENUPICK
SELECT @MENUNUM
CASE MenuWindow
DoThis..........
LarryMc's IDE can do it, so any ideas anyone please?
Thanks,
Andy.
You can implement something like this
CONST toolbaseID = 100 ' tool starting number/id
INT toolCount = 0 ' menuitems tools number you currently have
increase toolCount by 1 each time a new tool is added and call
ADDMENUITEM (w1, 1, "new tool", 0, toolBaseID + toolCount)
when you save the tools to a file, save toolCount too.
Thanks,
That's one way of doing it, will have a look!
Andy.
