Hi,

I couldn't find the answer to the following question: in basic, is there a way to add a menu bar widget (with submenus, text and icons) to a dialog box?

Thanks,
RB

If the answer is no... then I've attached an abandoned textpad project where I mimic a menubar using labels and popup menus. Its not finished or perfect - you can't move out of one popup menu into another as you can with menubar menus - but it looks similar to a menubar. Messy incomplete code - just an option if you can't get a proper menubar.

Thanks Jeje, interesting example...
I'll study your code to see if I can adapt it for my purpose.
Have a nice day,
RB

some documentation on menus is here, but whether you can get one in a dialog using setmenubar or something, I don't know:

Here's a tidied version of my menubar mimmick, with all the unnecessary code removed.

Doing that I noticed there was a half-baked attempt in the first upload to create a menubar using setMenuBar. Creating a proper menubar would be better if it can be done.

Thanks for all this stuff. I'll study all of these carefully...
