Hi Ken,

Yes, what you want is possible, But requires a little 'tweak' when dealing with a top-level form. Unfortunately, I left that little something out of the documentation.

For menus on Top-Level forms only!
It's necessary to give the menu a reference to the form. In the demo, this is done by assigning a unique name to the form on startup, then creating a global variable that stores a reference to the form. The menu class will automatically pick up this reference when the menu is created ( as long as the variable is named "go" + Formname).

The demo provided uses the following code :-
Top-Level form Init
LOCAL lcName
DODEFAULT()
lcName = "go" + THIS.name
PUBLIC &lcName
&lcName = THIS

Top-Level form Destroy
LOCAL lcName
lcName = "go" + THIS.Name
&lcName = .NULL.
RELEASE &lcName
DODEFAULT()

I'll shortly be adding a FAQ and update to the documentation on the menulib web page at http://www.hidb.com/menulib
