Hello Richard,
This may be helpful....one of Constructor's peculiarities is the way menus
come and go from the title bar depending on which window is in the
foreground. In this case, the Bitmap Editor window must be in the foreground
or the said menus will not appear.

Subject: Displaying large bitmaps - Constructor dont work
I am using version 1.5b7 of constructor, which I got from update 1 on the
palm web site, but it dont seem to work when it comes to bitmaps, this is a
slight problem as my application needs to consist of lots of bitmaps. What
version should I use, and where can I get it. Or am I just using it wrong ??
The two earlier replies dont seem to make sence when I follow the
instructions, ie the menues dont exist !!!.
Thanks
Richard Anderson
