problem to create a menu

[Manu2]

if I am using the method written at the end of this mail to create a menu, how can I transform my first menu button present in File "open task" in a cascade entry (I want to add task1 task2 :
ex :
File
-- Open task
-- task 1
-- task 2
-- Exit

I already know how to do it with the normal way "add cascade" but not with this one.

Thanks for your help

Manu



set descmenu {
"&File" all file 0 {
{command "Open Task" {} "Open task" {} -
{command "E&xit" {} "Exit BWidget demo" {} -command exit}
}
"&Options" all options 0 {
{checkbutton "Toolbar &1" {all option} "Show/hide toolbar 1" {}
-variable Demo::toolbar1
-command {$Demo::mainframe showtoolbar 0 $Demo::toolbar1}
}
{checkbutton "Toolbar &2" {all option} "Show/hide toolbar 2" {}
-variable Demo::toolbar2
-command {$Demo::mainframe showtoolbar 1 $Demo::toolbar2}
}
}
}

set prgtext "Creating MainFrame..."
set prgindic 0
set mainframe [MainFrame .mainframe -menu $descmenu -textvariable Demo::status -progressvar Demo:rgindic]

The reason you didn't get a response to this sooner, Manu, is that you didn't tell us what extensions your application is using. MainFrame isn't a built-in Tcl command, and without further information as to whether MainFrame was a procedure added by an extension or somewhere else in your application, most of us didn't have any idea where to start.

I finally had a couple of extra minutes, and so on a whim I did a search for "MainFrame" on Google Groups' (

http://groups.google.com)

archive of the comp.lang.tcl newsgroup. There, I found out that MainFrame is part of the BWidgets extension.

You can find the answer to your question by reading the BWidgets documentation, which is at

http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/BWman/contents.html.

The MainFrame reference page itself is at

http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/BWman/MainFrame.html.

The documentation has an example, which includes how to add cascades to a menu defined in this manner. - Ken Jones, President

Avia, that is a seriously good deed. No BS.
BTW, thanks for the help with tcl refs and the regsub
correction.
