Here's one way to get the system to handle them for you (inspired by
a comment someone made on this list a few months ago). In your form
event handler:
Boolean handled = false;
case menuEvent:
if ( ! EditMenuCommand ( &eventP->data.menu.itemID ))
{
handled = MainFormDoMenuCommand ( eventP->data.menu.itemID );
}
break;
/***********************************************************************
* FUNCTION: EditMenuCommand
*
* DESCRIPTION: This routine handles edit menu commands by converting
* the edit menu command ID to a system
edit menu command ID.
*
* RETURNED: true if the command is an edit menu command
***********************************************************************/
static Boolean EditMenuCommand
(
UInt16 * command // ( in ) Pointer to the ID of the menu command to do
)
{
Boolean isEditCmd = false;
UInt16 cmd = * command;
if ( *command >= EditUndo && *command <= EditGraffitiHelp ) // my menu defs
{
*command = * command - EditUndo + sysEditMenuUndoCmd;
isEditCmd = true;
}
return ( isEditCmd );
}
