Hi all. I'd appreciate some input/recommendations on how to make efficient complex menu items. I dont know if you have the file-sharing 'Shareaza' but that has a typical menu. EG you go to menu item 'Tools, Shareaza Settings' and it brings up a modal form with rows in a left vertical groupbox which determine the current groupbox on right. I'm not sure, but doesnt using modal forms cause bloat? Delphi has Template menus but going to demos that seems to be predefined menus??
However, unlike a modal form, I'd like something that presents well, and preferably provides the settings eg spinboxes radio buttons etc within the current main calling procedure. EG these items are part of the menu, therefore the values therein are values already in the calling procedure. In an earlier program, I did this by bringing up the settings form on creation, then immediately hiding it, but this is probably not very tidy programming practice. Also, the settings need then be referred from that form. Anywhere I can get this information?.
