Hi All,
I'm running ActiveState perl version 5.8.0 built for
MSWin32-86-multi-thread.
I would like to create a simple menubar with some -command items disabled
until programatical conditions are met.
(No problem been there done that. Except that the button still takes
focus and presses even though nothing happens)
And I would like a visual cue ( letters grayed out) that the menu
button/command is disabled. ( This is my PROBLEM )
I've tried using -disabledforeground => 'gray75' and get an error that
-disableforeground is not a valid option.
I've tried using both
my $menuCmd = $menubar->command( yada-yada );
and
my $menuCmd = $menubar->Menubutton( yada-yada);
Same error so I used DataDumper to look at the return from
$menuCmd->configure sure enough no -disabledforeground .
( I could have sworn both Learning and Mastering Perl/Tk listed
-disabledforeground as an inherited option)
So doing what any perlish person would do... I tried another way. I just
tried to set the -foreground => 'gray75'
No complaints this time just nothing happened. No color change in the
lettering. Nothing.
After hours of digging through documentation, experimentation, googling,
and nose picking I have yet to come up with an answer.
Then I saw the BUGS section on the ActiveState documentation on menu
"At present it isn't possible to use the option database to specify values
for the options to individual entries."
Does this mean I can't get there from here or is there some other arcane
formulae that I am missing?
Help me Mister Wizard!
On a different note can anybody tell me what the -tiled and -disabledtile
options do or are for? Can't find them documented anywhere
Thanks,
