Macromaker Menu Item May Appear in Middle of Menus (33737)

SUMMARY

When Macromaker is installed as an INIT resource in the System Folder, its menu icon may appear in the middle of the menus of a Macintosh QuickBASIC application. Macromaker is an application that is included with Apple's System Version 6.0. The Macromaker icon usually occurs to the right of the menu items in most desktop applications.

Please note that if the menus are defined by the application from right to left, the Macromaker menu will appear next to the Apple menu. It will be to the left of the QuickBASIC application's menus instead of to the right as it normally appears with desktop applications.

The following program will have the Macromaker menu in the middle of its own menus:

   FOR i = 1 TO 5
      MENU i,0,1,STR$(i)
   NEXT i
   WHILE MOUSE(0)<>1: WEND
				

To get the Macromaker menu next to the Apple menu, use the following code:

   FOR i = 5 TO 1 STEP -1
      MENU i,0,1,STR$(i)
   NEXT i
   WHILE MOUSE(0)<>1: WEND
