LiveCode Forums.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a menu for a my first LiveCode windows application. Using the Tools - Menu Builder option, if i create a new menu and select it, the mnemonic checkbox and the associated option menu are disabled. Why is this?

I'm using LiveCode Community 6.1.3.

Thanks for your help?

... also, if I use an ampersand in front of the menu name e.g. &Admin, &Admin appears in the menu when the program is run and not Admin as I am accustomed to coming from Delphi and Visual Studio. Please advise what I'm doing wrong.

I see the same thing. It's worth a bug report.

For now, you can just set up the menus without the special characters. Then open the property inspector for each menu button and add the ampersand in the contents of the button. That's all the menu builder is doing anyway.
