Not working 9.03: Disable Item in Option Button Menu

[paulsafr]

Hello my wise friends

I am experiencing an issue with RC 9.03 in both Indy and CE. When I use a left parenthesis, the items in the drop down button are not disabled in Win10 and Win7 (the only versions I checked and it was using 2 different machines). Instead of being "greyed out" they display with the leading parenthesis. This appears to me to be a bug but perhaps my test sample is too small. When I run the stack on my mac, the items are greyed out fine.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Paul

This has never worked in any version of LiveCode, nor in any other program conformant with Microsoft's design guidelines.

The Windows Human Interface Guidelines recommend removing items from option controls that are not relevant to the current context, rather than disabling them.

Thank you Richard,

I appreciate the information. I went ahead and did that for my beta anyway but the logic is sound and I will add that caveat to my personal scripting guidelines.
