Neil,
Thanks for the input - your code looks good. I might be able to
extract some of your elements to see if they help me out. I did
come to the conclusion that i need to use an "Associated Object"
for each menu item because the "tag" only uses integers and if I
ever switch or mix in alpha characters as key values I would be
screwed. On that note does anyone have a snippet of how to set and
retrieve an Associated Object? Specifically, I need the associated
object to a variable string and attached to a menu item in a popup
button.
At the time that I was trying to get this application working, I
didn't have any success at all trying to use the "associated object"
property. (Perhaps this has improved in Tiger?) That was the main
reason that I fell back on a simple scheme of keeping the information
for each menu entry in an object, keeping all the objects in a list,
and using the list index of the object as the tag of the menu entry.
Crude and inelegant, but it works reliably. After beating my head for
weeks against a "clever, elegant" solution, "works reliably" looked
awfully good to me. :-)
