A TPW beginners question:
I'm trying to modify an Edit|Delete menu item in my program so that
when user selects Options|Confirm Changes, the Edit|Delete menu
string is 'Delete...\tDel' (\t => 'Del' right-aligned). The problem
is that I can't get the \t to work with ModifyMenu. It works ok in
the Menu Editor.
This is what fails:
ModifyMenu(Attr.Menu, cm_DeleteConn, mf_Enabled or mf_ByCommand,
cm_DeleteConn, 'Delete...\tDel');
After that the menu item is 'Delete...\tDel', which is not
what I want. Any solutions/hints ?
My second question is: how do I change the text of a static control ?
I create it like this:
ModeStat := New(PStatic, Init(@Self, id_ModeStat, 'XXXXX Mode',
20, 10, 150, 20, 0));
ModeStat^.Attr.Style := ModeStat^.Attr.Style and not ss_Right;
I've RTFM, but no help.
Teemu.
