Hello

I can't figure how to do a popup menu in a dialogbox.

If anybody has some detailed instructions i would be very grateful.

i just want some sort of combobox displaying 5 languages
Item1
Item2
Item3
Item4
Item5

I only have 5 items. and when the dialog box is relaunched it has to be
selected on the item the previously chose.

I'm using CW, MacOS X, carbon and resedit.
Thank you.
pat.

It's called a 'pop-up menu'.

You will probably have to remember and reset this yourself.

IIRC, ResEdit is so old that it does not have popup menus in its GUI.
But it can still be done, but I dunno how... You don't have Resorcerer
do you? It would help.
