I am trying to build a function that "pushes" a bar item into another
(new) command list, i.e., when one right (or left or selects froma a
context menu or whatever) clicks on a item, a new command list is
created and the item is moved into the new command list and the old
item is modified so that it displays abar/menu based on the new
command list.
The idea is to make it easy to incrementally build depth into a
configurition. When a bar gets too full of stuff, one can quickly and
easily push some items into their own bars and start a new branch from
there. Later I will figure out how to drag itemx from one bar to
another, which will give the whole thing additional substance.
If I understand what you are saying, I will have to do some background
pcf file copying (and, possible, a POwerPro restart) to achieve my
design in the current implementation. I guess I can live with that.
Here is what I did:
cl.create("clname")
cl.insert("clname","clitem")
cl.SetLabel("clname","clitem","label")
Configure.WriteAllToPCF(pcfname)
menu.show("testcl")
and I expected to see "clname" in configure.command lists.list.
However, I think, based on your design comments, that I understand
what is going on so I will try some experiments and see if I can get
around the situation.
thanx,
evan
PS: and thanks for the HTML idea.
