LiveCode Forums.

This is a stupid question, sorry. I saw this on the "open anything " example, and am puzzled why it doesn't seem to be on the main GUI.
How would I create just a basic toolbar at the top, that would normally contain things like "file" and "edit"?
Thanks

Hi p4trick...
Have a look at page 119 in the user guide... choose Tools > Menu Builder to open the Menu Builder..

be well

Okay, thanks a ton for your help =]

One more question, how do I make the width of the menu bar to be the width of the card? I tried to use a script and it seemed to move everything over far to the left.

Hi...

I am assuming that you are running under windows since you want the menus in the card rather than having a menubar at the top of the screen as in MacOS X... So the answer is that you have to make your own... put a graphic behind the menu group.

I have attached a stack with such an example...

Thanks a lot for your help

Haha, okay, one off-topic question. How do I get rid of the asterisk (*) that appears next to my window title, implying that the document is unsaved? My app won't even save, its not for creation purposes.
Thanks

Hi...
Open the stack inspector and put something into the title field... once you have given the stack a title, the asterisk will then disapear ...

take care

Dixie

Okay thanks. And sorry to bother you with all these simple questions...I'm bad at figuring things out
One last question, this one about scripting. I know answer file is good for getting a path, but it doesn't work for saving files. Is there an equivalent that doesn't give you a "file not found" error when you make something new?
I intend to impress my professor with this one =)

Hi ...

There is no problem with asking questions... That is what the forum is for ... try 'ask file' as this displays a standard Save dialog for you to enter a file name and specify a location.... look at 'ask file' in the dictionary...
take care

Wow your a lifesaver. Thanks so much for all this help you've given me

Is it possible to send a message to an object in another stack?
Thanks

send me your mail address : john@ihouse.on-rev.com

Okay thanks.

Hi p4trick,

Of course it possible to send a message to another object (in another stack). Look up the commands send and call in the dictionary (see Help menu).

Best regards,

Mark
