[APBeta] Menu Functionality

[David Hill]

For me, point b).

 

In one windows statistical software package utilized frequently, graphs can be added to page layouts as drawings.  The Edit menu has the functions Undo Last Action (Ctrl+Z) and Redo Last Action (Ctrl+Y).  In the menu, a given action, say drawing is intuitive because a graph to a layout can be done, then undone if desired.  How such functionality would be implemented into AP V2 is difficult for me to say.

Subject: [APBeta] Windows menus
 
Windows-using folks,
 
What's the desired functionality for the menus in a window?
 
a. Every window has all the menus with all menu entries, and just 
disables those that don't apply to the window (this is the current 
method).
 
b. A window only has those menus that contain entries pertinent to the 
window, but those menus contain all the items, with the unused ones 
dimmed.
 
c. A window only has those menus that contain entries pertinent to the 
window, and only containing items pertinent to the window. e.g. for a 
simple window, the File menu might only contain the "Close" item.
 
I'm trying to figure out how typical Windows apps behave.
 
Paul R.
