Hello Kevin,
hi- have 2 questions:
1) i'm trying to use the metrowerks tutorial- specifically chapter 3
"adding a menu and a simple dialog." the problem is, no menu shows up.
i've created a menu bar, added a menu with a menu item to the menu bar,
and set the main forms menu resource to the menu bars ID. the menu just
won't show up though in the emulator. any ideas as to what i'm doing
wrong?
Assuming that you mean the menu is created but doesn't show up in your
application, it may be because the menu ID was not associated with the form.
You should add the menu bar ID in the Form editor (there's a field called
Menu Bar ID).
2) in constructor, the tutorial says that the ids of all the resources
will automatically make themselves unique. but, every new resource i
put in that's of a new type always gives itself the id 1000. is this a
problem?
S'ok :-) As long as each resource type is different the ID is fine. However,
beware that Bitmap/Families are considered the 'same' by Constructor i.e. a
Bitmap Family and Bitmap with ID 1000 will cause an error since they are
treated as the same type of resource.
Rgds,
Jun-Kiat Lam
