Cant edit my menu
Hey Guys,
I've got a strange one.I created a menu, applied scripts etc to it. It was on the mac platform and I quite liked that it was up on the toolbar.
I was experimenting a couple of weeks back with the menu and because of the PC build having menus on the stack I was deciding whether the menus on my app looked better/consistant on the stack.
I can't remember what I actually did but the menu appears on my stack, however when i go to the menu builder I am no longer able to edit it. It's as though there is no menu. The main thing I would like to do was to move the menu back to the toolbar and not have it on the stack. Anyone know how I can get my menu to work with the menubuilder again, becore I go through the pain of deleting all the menu objects and rebuilding them.
Many thanks
Jalz

Hi
The menu builder is sometimes, er, peculiar. But when you open it, does your menu appear in the list? Each menu is a group of buttons with certain properties set. Each should sppear in the builder.

Hi Craig
Apart from the menus appearing on my stack, I can view the buttons in the application list. However the menu builder isnt displaying anything. Wonder why the menu is not being recognised?

Re: Cant edit my menu
What do you get when you query the names of all the groups on the card?

There is an Edit button just under the field where the menu name should appear. Click that and it will show you a list of available groups. Choose the menu group you want to edit.

Hi Craig & Jacque,
Just wanted to thank you. Managed to reactivate the menu using Jacques, edit button. Still can't understand how I lost it though. Thank you
