hi
the populate method is called after a remote call to a php script made in
createMenu, so I guess the app is already running.
But is it a problem ?
How would u go about such a case before the yesterday change ? calling the
createMcs method on each menu and submenu method ?
It's true I am having problems getting around the display mechanism I a not
used to, would someone sum it up with examples ?
