RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Updates in CVS - PanelBar:

Hi Raymond!

There will be no minimize / maximize images and "no way"(you still can
call the methods manually) to call the function if you dont write the
htmlcode "{@min}" in the menu layer.

Is that enuff you think? Or is it vital to add more functionallity to be
able to turn it off in the other way (by a method)?

Regards
Daniel

Yep, that's what I meant. I guess that should be a
simple thing to do :)
