It sound like, to me, that he is trying to emplement a dynamic menu system
like
mirc has. Since Eu is scripted, not compiled, this should be a valid option.
Along the lines of:
if var
then loadmenu(windowhandle,menuname,menufileX)
else loadmenu(windowhandle,menuname,menufileZ)
end if
which would load and use the menu appropriate for the current state of affairs
in the application. In mirc, i use:
Color1 Menu:/.load -pn popups\colorpops1.mrc | /echo $active
11,11..11,12 Color1 Script Menu Loaded 11,11..
Color2 Menu:/.load -pn popups\colorpops2.mrc | /echo $active
11,11..11,12 Color2 Script Menu Loaded 11,11..
Botpops Menu:/.load -pn popups\botpops.mrc | /echo $active
11,11..11,12 Botpops Menu Loaded 11,11..
and clicking on one of those lines loads up and displays a new menu for that
same window. Since mirc is scripted, one can also write script to change the
menus and reload them, and even single lines in the menu can be changed
**by the
menu itself**, based on vars. I still say Rob would do well to merge into Eu
some of the scripting abilities of mirc. Particularly that "goto" command! Mirc
could benefit tremendously by Eu too, so it's not a one-way merge street. The
two together could blow all other scripting languages out of the universe, and
most compiled languages with them.
