Hidden menu items

[nenad cikic]

I have habit to declare hidden menu items in the main frame. Then in the code i declare global long data nd assign the feq number

hiddenFeq=?hiddenMenuItem
Then from other thread i send with POST to the hidden menu accepted event, so that i can process some code in the main frame.
This is working in c2j. Just one thing is not working. The menu item is not effectivelly hidden.

For example from main frame definition:
                         MENU('<154>đčć<158,138>ĐČĆ<142>'),USE(?test),HIDE
                           ITEM('Update globalni param'),USE(?Updateglobalniparam),HIDE
                         END

I'll take a look later on the weekend. Brief look at the code, I would expect HIDE to behave as expected.  My initial expectation is that maybe it is a limitation of Java Swing, you cannot hide menu item components. But I have not looked close enough yet.

Interesting hack, using a ?control and posting ACCEPT to it.

c2j will allow you to post events for non existent fields.  e.g. the following code snippet behaves the way you would expect. If this is of help:

        program
window window('test'),at(10,10,100,100)
        button('Press me'),use(?b1),at(1,1,50,10)
.
        code
        open(window)
        accept
                if accepted()=?b1
                        post(event:Accepted,100)
                .
                if accepted()=100
                        message('Got an event for non existant field!')
                .
        .
        close(window)

Menu items not responding to disable/hide etc was a one line oversight in runtime code. Committed a fix.
