Hi,

When a user is navigating an application's menu, is there a way for our application to trap what menu (popup) bar they have highlighted so we can dynamically display information about the menu (popup) bar in our application specific 'status bar' area?

I was hoping there might be some trick that would give us a Got/LostFocus type of functionality. However, after reading the 'define bar' documentation, it doesn't appear that there's anyway to determine the currently selected menu option.

It also appears that the value of the 'message' attribute is stored as a static value - there doesn't appear to be a way to specify a message expression that will get dynamically executed as a popup bar is highlighted.

Another reason we are trying to determine the active menubar is so that we can trap the F1 key and provide our own application specific 'help' for the currently highlighted menu (popup) bar.

Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.

Thanks!
Malcolm
