Hi,
Yes, that's the way I was thinking. One thing though, this works for
enabling and disabling menu items or whole menu's depending on the
current Stack or Card, but what about changing menu items? This can
get quite complex, for instance, say I have a Main App Stack (Call is
MainApp) and a number of Stacks that are called from the Main App,
like a Preferences Stack or an Image Editor Stack.
MainApp takes over the "File:Open" menu item and changes it to
"File:Import" and sets a handler to call when this action is taken.
However one of the others stacks can open a file and want's the Menu
Item to be "File:Open".
Another example is when a whole Menu wants to change (leaving some
Menu's alone), like in the RunRev IDE when you have a Stack Window at
the Front you get one set of menu's and when you have the Script
Editor in front you get another set, but some menu's are left "as is"
like the "Edit, Windows and Help Menu's).
Any ideas?
All the Best
Dave

Perfect place to use custom properties, I think. You could
generalize this
nicely. Say, e.g., you have a custom property for each card called
menuItemsToDisable. It contains a list of the menu items to be
disabled when
that card opens. Then in the opencard handler you just grab that
custom
property and iterate over it in a loop. Voila!

Ok, but what if you want different Menu entries depending on which
stack in the "topstack" ? Also how do you enable/disable menu items
depending on which stack/card/whatever is in control?
