I have finally figured out a solution (this is written in Phix, btw): In key_cb: if alt and find(base,"BCDILUX") then string Yelp = "&Yelp" Yelp[2] = base IupSetStrAttribute(main_help_menu,"TITLE",Yelp) reset_help = true end if <plus code to do what those alt-keys should>
In main_help_menu_open_cb: if reset_help then reset_help = false IupSetAttribute(main_help_menu,"TITLE","&Help") IupSetInt(main_help_menu,"ACTIVE",false) IupSetInt(reset_help_timer,"RUN",true) end if In reset_help_cb (via reset_help_timer): IupSetInt(main_help_menu,"ACTIVE",true) IupSetInt(reset_help_timer,"RUN",false) -- IupSetFocus(canvas) -- does not work -- IupSetGlobal("KEY",K_ESC) -- does not work if dumwin=NULL then dumwin=IupDialog(NULL) end if IupShow(dumwin) IupHide(dumwin) The last two lines do produce a minor blip, but I can live with that. My question is whether IupSetFocus and/or IupSetGlobal("KEY") should work in these circumstances (instead of dumwin)?
