I've been having fun, sorta, working out how to emulate Windows menu
emulation with the new MC version 2.3B3, and I think I've got
everything worked out quite nicely except for one fairly minor
obstacle.
This is related to the whole issue of how to deal with the basic
effect (which I personally abhor) of pulldown menu buttons popping up
when the mouse rolls over them, then depressing on mousedown or
mouseup. I can do that fine, but in Windows itself, when a menu
heading has been clicked and its menu is open, you can click on the
menu heading again and the menu closes and the menu heading returns
to its elevated rollover state. I am unable to accomplish this, since
I don't seem to be able to intercept that mouse click on an opened
menu's heading button. With MetaCard's default mechanism, clicking on
an opened menu's pulldown button doesn't do anything at all.
Is there a message send, a target, or anything else that can be used
in order to accomplish this?
Please let me know if you don't get what I'm after, I'm operating on
a certain amount of lack of sleep trying to prepare for a
demonstration of MetaCard tomorrow morning and alasf ag ajga;g ;agjj
