[menubar] can't add menu title
I have to say, I don’t feel this object being the most intuitive of things. I have a simple menubar script with the following:
#X about About…;
#X open 2;
#X newitem 1;
#X saveas 4;
#X closeitem;
#X file 5 Set Workspace…;
#X end;
When I attempt to add a another menu title (like in the example) "#X menutitle 5 Super-Duper;" I get an error in the Max window:
"menutitle: index must be < = 4 (was 5)"
So I change the menu index to 4 and I get the error message:
"menutitle: index must be >= 5 (was 4)"
It feels like Max is trolling me. Any ideas?
Is it that the term ‘file’ in the sixth line should be changed in ‘menutitle’? Anyway, don’t forget to specify the argument 5 in the menubar object.
Hey JVKR, thanks for replying!
The "file 5 Set Workspace…" is adding Set Workspace to the bottom of the File menu. But all this works as desired. It’s only when I attempt to add a new menu title that it gives me that error and doesn’t save my preferences.
Could you explain what you mean by "specify the argument 5 in the menubar object"?
*EDIT* Sorry, I understand now. The menubar object requires an INT argument to signify the number of menu title outlets if more than the standard 4 are desired.
I realised this IS listed in the help file, however it’s explained only within the argument description for the argument listed as "display".
Cheers!
