coll to umenu
Hello Maxtopia,
I have no idea why the umenu displays the contents in the wrong order after receiving the dump from the coll. I'm sure it must be simple, but I can't figure it out!! This seemed straightforward to populate the umenu, but the last item appears first.
Any hints?
Thanks so much
Charlie
I tried a slightly neater version with direct number messages to test the coll output, the first one either gives me a 'sym' or the last entry.
Thanks
Charlie
1- pack 0 sym output is wrong, becuse coll index gets first out
2- that is anyway wrong way to feed umenu from coll
use grab - because you don't want to append items to umenu
every time you recall something from coll, or ?
it might be doing it differently but that should be the most simple version for filling a menu.
objects like coll or textentry can output data which are - or which look - a bit strange. always use printit to debug.
My humble thanks; I have learned some fascinating tips from both examples.
