You may have found by now that to get "normal" menus, you need to
use the MBAR keyword on the base widget. This is not an option in
WIDED, so it is necessary to edit WIDED-generated procedures.
: Btw, anybody using idl not with a workstation but with win 3.11 at all?
Yes. A warning: There are a number of widget bugs in the Windows
version of IDL. Some are in RSI's software and some are caused by
graphics card drivers. In particular, if you use a menu bar under
Windows, you may find that 1) Two resize events are generated when the
widget is realized, and 2) Text or draw widgets placed below the menu bar
will not be positioned correctly (this can be compensated for with
negative padding and a "spacer" base widget).
Also, when I recently switched from Windows for Workgroups to Windows 95,
three new bugs appeared (and one went away).
