Matt,

Yes, you can trap a click on a MenuItem, but that's not what Wolf was asking
about.

He (& as it turns out, me too), wants to be able to click on a *top level*
menu display, and have a programmable action occur;  he's not talking, I
think, about clicking on an *menu item* that's *under* a top level menu
display.

If you have a top level menu display "File", and an item under it, "Open",
you can trap a click on the MenuItem "Open", but not on the top level Menu
"File".

I don't know what Wolf's wants to do, but I have some alternative selection
option windows (windows with a series of selection options in them) that I
would want to open by clicking on a top level Menu, instead of having it
open a regular menu items selection display.

So does anyone have a way to allow for that??
