Is the menubar visible?

2008-01-28 Thread Richmond Mathewson
Just spent a fruitless half-hour trying to find a way to know. This might be because there is an ambiguity between MENUBAR used as a property to set up a GROUP as a MENU (rather than the standard Mac menu) and HIDE MENUBAR. Being fairly naive I imagined MENUBAR in HIDE MENUBAR referred to

Bonjour Eric, You are right, Menuhistory is not perfect, but if you have a simple static menu (99% of my menus are static), this is the best way. After, if you want to have an advanced menu, (eg: with sub menu), menuhistory is not made for that, but lineoffset or a custom repeat are better.

There is no real reason to need to know this, unless you want to mirror the menubar's visibility with a checkmark, while not knowing the state yourself. If you want to set the menubar to visible or not, then you can just do it, no matter what the old status was. Of course it's nice to set

Bonjour Damien, MenuHistory seems, at first sight the straight way but, actually, it is 'hardcoded' as would be 'Cut' or 'Paste': This means that you can't modify your menus, inverting two menu items or adding a new one, for instance without modifying your code. It's the reason why I
