Thank you those who answered my previous post. I got the main menu editor to work. But when I go to run the program in the Lazarus IDE it freezes when I click the menu. (I am working in Version 0.9.10 for win32.)
I tried making a simple do-nothing menu. I simply opened a new project, dropped a menu onto the form, created a menu item and a submenu item. I double clicked the submenu item to create a dummy procedure for a mouse click handler, and compiled. It freezes at runtime in the IDE when I click on the menu item. Try it.
I tried running one of the example programs that has a menu and it freezes too, in the same way. Ironically, both mine and the example work fine if I get out or Lazarus and double click on the exe file.
If I debug the project and step through it, it appears to hang up when it is looking for an inc file. It gives me an opportunity to supply a path. If I give the correct path to the inc file, it continues to run until it needs another inc file. I don't know if path screwups are the underlying problem, but if so, perhaps there is some configuration workaround so I can tell it where things are.
Anyone out there successful in creating menus that actually work when testing them in the IDE? What are you doing that I'm not doing?
