Sub:    Re: TPopup not drawing properl
 
I  have had this problem in the past.  I remember it beling related to not
having the Popup 'MENU' resource number listed under the 'MBAR' resource.
Here's a snippet from an application of ours.
 
//  file: App.h
#define mPreferences   28    //Preferences
#define mHlpFontName   1000  //help font name
#define mHlpFontSize   1001  //help font size
 
//  file: MApp.r
resource 'MBAR' (kMBarHierarchical, "kMBarHierarchical")) {
   { //pull-right menus
     mPreferences;
     //popups
     mHlpFontName; mHlpFontSize;       //   LIST ALL POPUPS USED HERE
   }
};
 
Also, don't forget to make the MenuID equal to the menu resource number
(modifiable using ResEdit).
 
Good luck.

Sub:    Re2: TPopup not drawing proper
 
Matt,
 
thanx for your link re: popups not drawing properly.  it fixed my problem!!!
 
The real problem was that my popups had a menuID and resource number <
mLastMenu.  When I increased this to 1000+ it solved my problem.
 
BTW, in MacAPP 2, popups needed to be in the kMBarNotDisplayed MBAR resource
and NOT in the kMBarHierarchical resource.  If they were, you would get
unexplained crashes when dismissing a dialog that had popups.  I haven't looked
at the MacApp 3 code to know if this is still the case.  But, they seem to work
properly in kMBarNotDisplayed.  (They also seemed to work in kMBarHierarchical
as in your example, but i personally feel more comfortable with them in
kMBarNotDisplayed).
 
Thanx again,
Ken Victor
