Hi Mattias,
Not too sure this will help, but I came up against a similar problem with
option menus on Win, so figured out a way to do what I needed by code, maybe
you can adapt this for your use…
==Code==
local sHist,sMenuText,sLabel
on mouseDown
lock screen -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stops the label
momentarily changing on mouseDown
put the menuHistory of me into sHist -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we know where we
are coming from
put the label of me into sLabel -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we can re-use it
later
put the text of me into sMenuText -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we can manipulate
it later
end mouseDown
on menuPick pItemName
if char 1 of pItemName = "*" then -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check to see if the
user chose a disabled item
lock messages -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So we can control
the outcome without unexpected results
set the menuHistory of me to sHist -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Returns the
menuHistory back to the required state
set the label of me to sLabel -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Give the user
correct feedback
unlock messages
exit menuPick -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don't need to go any
further
else
replace "*" with "" in sMenuText -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove any previous
choice
put word 2 of the selectedLine of me into tLine -- ~ Identify the new
choice
put "*" before line tLine of sMenuText -- ~~~~~~~~~~ Mark the new choice
set the text of me to sMenuText -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update the Menu Text
set the menuHistory of me to tLine -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update the
menuHistory
set the label of me to pItemName -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Give the user some
feedback
end if
unlock screen
answer pItemName -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now we can do
something with the user choice
end menuPick
==End Code==
