I'm trying to make a toggle-able menu item. This is what I have. The ID and "handle menu" are correct. I don't get why this isn't working.



I've tried also:



And:



And it still won't toggle that menu item. (And yes, True and False are constants I set up that do of course work

Any ideas?


Hurray for teh logd!

If you created a menu in a function, maybe you forgot to set the "menuMapping" variable to global. Or a "menu" var.

Nope, the variables are definately set properly, the issue lies in:

IF EVENTSOURCE()=menu AND EVENTDATA() = 14

I'm not sure how to check for a click on the menu bar...

Yep, check the code snippet boxes up above. The loop there works for other parts of my gui, buttons and whatnot. But I can't figure out the menu bars.

blueGUI really is a nasty bugger.
it takes all you've learned about your own unique coding style and organization, and dumps it to trash. next thing you know, your relearning how to set code up for it to work properly, and you'll have tons of little bugs here and there that take you days to find out, and eventually it's just some hidden command you didnt know of or parameter you were using wrong, or just a stupid little mistake in variables or what not.

aside from that, it's a beautiful and very useful plugin!


the trick is to do tons of debugging. tons of it. not just spacing things around, but adding stuff, and taking stuff away, reordering it, etc.

add 'end' above this line.

if you clicked on the right menu and the program ended, then your safe knowing that theres no problem with event data and menu clicking. then it all lies in the little 'itemChecked' block of code

Look at Rob K's sample application "Paddy" in your Projects=>BlueGUI Examples=>Sample Programs folder. He shows a nice tight structure for detecting menu and toolbar activity.

Think you where looking for menu_click for an eventsource not just menu.
