Hi folks,
I'd really apreciate it if some would help me through a problem I'm having
with menus.
Amazingly enough, I'm actually having a hard time conceptulaizing what a
menu/menu-bar is!! From the illustrations provided in "Palm for Dummies" or
"O'Reilly", a menu bar is literally this bar which stretches horizontally
across the top of the form and contains the menus, which in turn contain
menu-items. For some reason, in none of the standard applications (e.g. Date
Book, Memo Pad, Address etc.) is such a format visible to me. Each of these
apps have a small trigger icon on the top right corner(containing the
choices: All, Business, Friends .....), but not what I expect to see: a
menu-bar!!
I was trying to integrate a menu into a form earlier, and I followed the
instructions in these various resources:
Step1: Create a MenuBar resource is Constructor
Step2: Create a Menu within this MenuBar, and then add
MenuItems to the Menu.
Step3: Put in the appropriate MenuBar ID in the Layout
Properties window of the relevant form.
I've followed all of these steps, saved the .rsrc file, implemented the form
in CodeWarrior and uploaded the .prc onto my Handspring device only to find
that no menubar or menu is visible. I can put in labels and buttons and
lists or whatever, which work fine. But I can't get the menus. Of course
given that I don't see anything which resembles what a menubar should look
like according to "Dummies" and "O'Reilly" I'm now completely confused. Are
menu-bars/menus something specific to Pam, and not for Handspring???
PLEASE HELP, SOMEONE!!!
best regards,
Akshay
