Re: [MACTCL] Drag & Drop Tclets / MacOS X

[Ryan C. <sc...@ho...>]

Hmmm...I'm not finding a command 'post' that I could disable...I am using a
menu attached to a menubutton.

Maybe I am missing something.  Right now these are being built in the
toplevel itself.  Is there a way to instead build these menus in the Mac
menu bar?

Also, what do I need to do to get Mac to take control of the location of my
toplevel...I can't move it.
