There is a checkbox in the menu builder called Set as Stack Menu bar. I’m 
wondering if that is what everyone means by a stack menu? If so, it seems that 
in order for your application to look and feel like a *real* app, you will need 
to employ this, at least for some apps. I have never heard of a stack developed 
in such a way as it becomes the menu for another stack, if that is what was 
being discussed.

Some time ago, back in the Revolution days, the Menu Builder had some real 
problems, taking perfectly good menus and screwing them up beyond the ability 
to recover them, hence many people’s aversion to using it. Nowadays I can say 
that I use it exclusively, as opposed to rolling my own, with absolutely no 
issues whatsoever. Others mileage may vary.

Hi Bob

I was just trying to find out what a stack menu IS. I don’t know whether you 
can build one with the menu builder or not, but what I was looking for was an 
explanation as to the what, the why and the how. I suppose the how might have 
included menu builder.

When I start a new project I do usually use the menu builder, but menus always 
need tweaking in my experience, especially cross-platform ones, so I do end up 
doing lots of stuff outside that context.

Maybe you didn’t want your question answered - if so, sorry for the bandwidth!
