RE: question on menubar implementation
Hi, there.
Didn't get many replies *g* to my last post
(
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-design/200412/msg00062.h
tml ), so I'll post the question separately, maybe it won't
be filtered out on subj=.*BeOS.* :p
The menubar implementations I have seen so far all seem to
construct menu trees on the fly (= submenus are created when
an item is selected). It would be simpler for me if I could
generate all the menu at once, and update it in case it
changes. Is this at all possible ?
It would be much better if you did it the same way that all the current
window systems do it. I suppose you *could* generate the entire menu in
advance, but you'd still have to regenerate it when a submenu is selected
because that's what the lisp code (the menu filter) expects.
