Menu bar in projector extended??

[keiTai]

Hi all,

I created a menu bar on top of my projector with:

menu: This cd
menu: File
Quit| halt

This one is very basic And now i want to add some functions like,
Get info - Just a window with general information
Search CD - this will open the cd and shows all the readable files like .txt,
..ppt, .pdf etc

Any links or tutorials

The menu docs should shoe how handlers get caled.

Your info window could be a different director file opened as a Movoe In
A Window, look up MIAW in docs.

Opening files with their assigned applications can be done best using an
Xtra like buddyAPI, a limited number of functions at a time can be used
free.

thnks for replying,

For opening files i am using budapi.x32. Don't yet know how to assign a
specific program, but it works. Except for the fact i always want to have the
files opened in front.

Which menu docs? Where can i find them?

MIAW : gonna look into that.

Buddyapi looks up the application registered for a given extension type,
like word for a .doc, it sould use te same application as opening the
document in the file manager uses.

Buddyapi has calls to get the application for a given extension, so you
could find the application for .doc files and open a .txt file with that
application, even though another app is the default for .txt.

Director hs a simple open (this file with that application) command
You need to supply exact location of both.



Seems like you were opening minimized, that might make it come up in
background
