Hello folks,

Again my friend badly needs help with CommomView.
It *seems* that the function Menu::DeleteItem doesn't work properly.
But she suspects that she's doing something wrong...

Here is the sympton :

class MyWind : public TopAppWindow {
      Menu menu;
      Menu menubar;
public:
      MyWind();
      virtual void MenuCommand(MenuCommandEvt);
};

MyWind::MyWind()
{
	menu.AppendItem(1, "line 1");
	menu.AppendItem(2, "line 2");
	menubar.AppendItem(&menu, "Menu 1");
	ChangeMenu(&menubar);
	Show();
}

void
MyWind::far MenuCommand(MenuCommandEvt e)
{
	switch(e.GetItemID()) {
	      case 1:

		/* This function call fails...
		    And the menu is still there and active */

		menubar.DeleteItem(&menu);
		break;
	}
}

Anybody gets an idea why this won't work ?

Since the CommonView documentation seems to be a pain, my friend needs
some more elaborate examples. More precisely, programs that deal with
the classes : ChildAppWindow, Menu, DialogWindow, ListBox...

If you have such small examples to share, she would be very gratefull and
very relieved.

Note : this is done with C++ 1.2 and I suspect the version of CommonView
       to be somehow out of date...

Reply by Email please.

Thanx in advance,

-- "Jessie"
