[Quoted] [Quoted] Hi, I'm learning Forms programming. I'm having trouble with menus. I've created a set of menus, but I can't make them appear in my forms application

I've called the menu set MAIN_MENU_SET, the top level menu is MAIN_MENU, with menus FILE, EDIT, TOOLS, DATA, HELP.

The forms application is called MRD.

The book gives the following instructions:

• Save and generate the menu module and open the MRD form.
  1. Double click the form module icon to the left of MRD module to display its properties window.
  2. set the Menu Module to thename of the menu you just saved followed by the extension .MMX.

I think I've followed the instructions, generate the menu module, I presume that means use Program/ compile selection. I've done that.

I've set Menu Module to MAIN_MENU_SET.MMX and run the application, but the menus don't appear, I just have a single menu 'Window'

I've tried various other things, I noted that there was no file called main_menu_set.mmx, but there is one with the extension mmb, so I tried that with the same result.

What am I doing wrong here please? Received on Thu Jul 15 2004 - 03:36:41 CEST
