Fwd: Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] Sending CC Messages and Disabled Edit Menu

[Jeff W. <jww...@ya...>]

Hey, I've got my Edit... menu back!!!

I tried what Rib Rdb suggested and it does bring the
edit menu back. But then I asked myself why none of
the other drivers override hasEditor. When I looked at
Driver.hasEditor I realized what the problem was.

I had my editPatch method coded as editPatch(IPatch)
instead of editPatch(Patch). This caused
Driver.hasEditor to return false, since it was looking
for a editPatch(Patch). All I had to do to solve the
problem was change my editPatch(IPatch) to
editPatch(Patch). I could then remove the override of
hasEditor and everything worked as it should.

Thanks Rib Rdb, for your help!!!
