Pull-down menus in PowerBasic 2.1
Mark E. Smith
I'm looking for a way to include simple pull-down menus in a
PowerBasic 2.1 program. Can anyone direct me to a fully-cooked,
ready-to-eat solution? All the routines I've found on the net
have been for either QuickBasic 4.5 or PowerBasic 3.0 and above.

My reply is from quotes of your post..
' DO-IT-YOURSELF Mark, it is a fine thing, eat control'
umm, hehe, Perhaps you could write it yourself.. It's not demanding,
it's text. :) It's no major mathematical hassle, just some programming
=)
Ignore my ignorance

Well, why didn't I think of that myself?
Thanks for the brainstorm; you've been ever so helpful.

Haha, sarcasm _and_ wit! A double strike in one day :) Look, it doesnt
take a genius to sit down for a few hours and work it out..
Plenty of nice stages:
Detect keypresses
Act on them
Draw rows of menu items
Let arrow keys move a highlight bar up and down
Let Enter (or something) select the item

I'd kind of like to give a menu routine a try: How
would you select an item in a row?

- You have no idea how much I hate askin' this of you.
- You didn't ask. I'm volunteering to do it of my own free will.
- Honestly, I think I hate that even more.
