I am trying to do the exploding menu things where all menus are displayed on the screen at once. A problem im having is how to get the close-button to appear on each menu. The way I see it, is that its rather wierd since IB cannot visually add and create the close button in IB iself. Now, there seems to be no method as such to allow me to create the button in the windows frameView. I have got a method which manipluates the menus buttonMask but I need to be able to "redraw" the menu to reflect the new buttonMask, however I think its necessary for something to go off and actually create me a button and connect is to close: So the question is Do I need to send my menus LMOUSE_DRAGGED events to have it think im dragging a menu hence "tearing off" and the appkit does the rest or am I missing something. The behaviour I am looking for is present in AI3.0 and DataPhile/Reality Cheers. Besides being a nifty UI feature its also a very interesting appkit excercise.
