This is a bug in OS 3.5. (I do not know if it was fixed with some of the 3.5.x updates, but it IS fixed in 4.0.) Menu Hide Item works just fine, but then if you tap on a menu with a hidden item, there is code in the menu manager that tries to compute based on the coordinates of the pen which item you tapped on. There is a brain-dead error in it (someone forgot to increment the pointer) which causes an infinite loop. Big woopsie!
I just ran into this bug myself last week working on DualDate. The solution is to not use MenuHideItem on OS 3.5 -- use the old trick of multiple menus -- one with the item, one without. -bob mckenzie, palmsource pdx -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 1:05 PM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: MenuHideItem causes menu to freeze I have found on my Handspring running OS 3.5.2H that if I hide a menu item using MenuHideItem the menu the hidden item is in no longer responds to any selections. This seems to occur only on my Handspring and not on my M505 running 4.0.
