Hi, All you have to do is this:
function GetMenuItem theMenuItemName
put lineOffset(theMenuItemName,the text of button "popUp") into my myMenuItem
return myMenuItem
Then use it like this:
set the menuHistory of button "popUp" to GetMenuItem("TheMenuString")
All the Best
Dave
Scott,MenuHistory is indeed is the function I need, but this doesn't work for buttons of type "popup". Furthermore it is very strange that you would have to supply a number instead of the text selected... I'm displaying data from a database, when a user clicks on a record he gets the data displayed and some of the data can be changed using pop-up menu's. So when a user clicks, I would first have to find the item in the list and set the menuhistory every time the user selects another record... Would be much easier when I could popup the menu with the text in a field...If it would work for a regular pop-up menu :-( Thanks anyway, Ton Kuypers Digital Media Partners bvba Tel. +32 (0)477 / 739 530 Fax +32 (0)14 / 71 03 04 http://www.dmp-int.com On 1-nov-05, at 15:57, Scott Rossi wrote:Recently, Ton Kuypers wrote:In the "old days", when I didn't know better, I was using SuperCard. I seem to recall there was a possibility to popup menu's with a basic value... What I mean is the user selected item 27 from a menu and the next time he opened the menu, the menu showed item 27 of the menu at the mouseposition. I think the command was popup menu "XXX" at the topleft of me with fld "menuresult" (or something like that...) In Revolution this works for a button of type "Option" but I need to use a regular pop-up button. Anybody any suggestions?If I understand what you're asking, I believe you want the menuHistory property.
