RE: DPAINT and the ASTERISK….maybe they redefined the "checkmark" to
asterisk. There's a field somewhere in the menu stuff to point to the
"check" image. If you REALLY need to know where, I can look it up. (just
did, for the excersize…it's in the Intuition manual). The NewWindow
structure allows you to specify the CheckMark imagery (pointer to it after
FirstGadget and before Title (hope this helps). BTW straight out of the
Intuition Manual (orignal from CBM page 6-9) I find the following:
"The foloowing code fragment dhows the correct way to process a menu event:"
while (MenuNumber != MENUNULL)
{
Item = ItemAddress(MenuStrip, MenuNumber);
/* process this item /
MenuNumber = Item->NextSelect;
}
Hope this clears things up. PS, MetaScope does menus correctly too (but
maybe only on 1.2 (haven't used 1.1 since beta copies started showing up
around last May).
