You should do it.

Last year, I created a fairly robust OOP menu system which communicates and automatically coordinates with forms and toolbars (including a special status toolbar). I initially based it on the codebook model, but quickly saw it's limitations, so I rolled my own from scratch.

Good Luck - I guarantee that you will learn alot.

>>>Yes, Mark Hall has a great one. But, it requires you to write code to make your menu. The idea I have is to create a menu builder or a genmenu.prg replacement to write the code for you. That makes actually using the object oriented menus much easier.
