There's more than one menu I have to dynamically adjust so I need to figure out in the group's mouseDown handler which menu was clicked. I tried using the short name of me, the short name of the target, and the mouseControl but none of them tell me which button was clicked. How do I figure that out?
I usually don't bother, though the "short name of the target" should work I'd think. I just set everything all at once. Some of my menu handlers are fairly long but they still run almost instantly. Manipulating menus is expensive, so it's a good idea to lock menus before changing things and then unlock menus at the end of the handler.
on mousedown lock menus put blahblah into btn "file" of me put somethingelse into btn "edit" of me unlock menus end mousedown
The other issue is what needs to be done for Windows. I think I'm right in saying that the mouseDown event will reach the menu bar group if there is no mouseDown handler for the button itself - right?
Yes. Messages will pass through the hierarchy normally, so you get automatic cross-platform behavior.
