Re: [Pythoncard-users] Getting event when clicking on menu bar

[<kc1...@ya...>]

If that's the case, may be I can accomplish what I
need to do by getting the gainFocus event of the main
window.

I did try that before but the problem is that if I
capture the event by doing an on_mybgWindow_gainFocus,
a lot of things no long works (like list objects don't
scroll open anymore).   I am suspecting that when I
capture the gainFocus event and do some processing, I
need to send the same event back to the system
somehow.  In other words, I need to "sandwich" my code
into the event queue - rather then "robbing" the
event.  (That's what needs to be done in other GUI
packages I used to use).

How do I do that in PythonCard?

Thanks,
