Alas. I thought of one work around, but even that work around was not anywhere near as graceful as doing it the normal way in more graceful languages in which the menus were globally accessable.


There are conceptual differences between frameworks. If you can't cope with that, and see application programming from different fresh angles, please don't talk about what's "graceful" or not. Just because you're used to doing it one way doesn't mean that's the best or only way.

I don't believe that programming is a subjective thing.

And I believe that the time it takes to learn a framework, write code using the framework once learnt, and time to maintain code that you've written with a framework, is a very good measurement of any particular framework's gracefulness.

I have seen studies of times that it takes to write software using different frameworks, and they are different, and I would also say that in my opinion, this correlates well to how graceful I find the particular framework.

I'm not sure why you'd come out with "can't cope with that". Seems totally unrealistic to me.

Fighting the framework does not help you write a better application. Adapting your ways and views does.

That's just what I'm doing. Which is why the last question I asked was "How do I use selectors with validatemenuitem".
