Community Edition and Menus

Post by rrBUSS9EE » Fri Jul 19, 2019 4:39 pm

I have a project I created several years ago with a full version of LC. It had menus, including the rather odd implementation of the "About" and "Quit" menu items in the Application menu.

The other day I tried building a standalone from it using the current stable community edition, and while the About and Quit menus show in the Application menu, it would seem they are not sending messages to my menu handlers. All other menus are working as expected.

So... do standalones built with Community edition not send messages from these menu items, or does my problem lie elsewhere?

Thanks,

Buss

I would (tentatively) say your problem lies elsewhere, without having seen the menu handlers in question. I somewhat recently put up a tutorial where I used the 'About' and 'Quit' handlers with a community edition of Lc, they worked fine there.

Have you tried tracing through the routine in the debugger at all? Set a break point at the about, for instance, and see if it is getting called.

Thanks... knowing this is not a limitation with the Community edition has allowed me to correct the issue.

Glad to hear it! Now I hope you come back and give some hint as to what the issue was, as it may help others who wind up in a similar predicament :wink:
