Yes, I have been using that exact class for over a year. What I am speaking of is a builder program that will write the code for you to work with Mark's class. Would you find that to be a useful thing?

Thanks

>>>I've written myself a menu developer that I would love to make OOPy. If you like the ideas below, I can e-mail you a screen print and a sample of the generated code. If you are still interested, perhaps we can work together.

>>>1. Uses a treeview, lots of right-click options
>>>2. Generates the menu code
>>>3. Creates unique identifier for each pad, popup, and bar for security (see next point).
>>>4. Unlike the Foxpro menu developer, and all derivations thereof, allows you to cut and paste bars or entire branches, which *preserves*security*definitions*. This alone is really why I did it.
>>>5. Stores the menu definition in a table. This is cuz I want to extend the code generator to support the Active Toolbar and implement that Outlook-style stuff that's taking over Known Space.
>>>6. You never actually enter a command for the bars. You just specify which form to edit (all of my menu bars call forms). Since this is part of my pet roll-your-own RAD framework, it creates an instance of my standard form class if it can't find the named form.
>>>7. On the menu developer form, I have buttons, "EDIT FORM", "RENAME FORM", "NO FORM", etc.
>>>
>>>The result of this approach is that I have combined the job of defining a menu and working on the associated forms, I can do it all from one tool, which to my mind is the way the gods intended it.
