Hello

I got some progress in the NIB dialog box, I managed to create all the
elements, my last questions ( well i hope )

is how to know which item is selected in the popup menu ( impossible to
find this... )
I tried this in the window callback
languageSelected = command.menu.menuItemIndex ;
but command.menu.menuItemIndex is always 0, so i guess i'm not doing it
right.

Also i don't find how to force select the popup menu on an entry of my
choice ( let's say the 2nd item of the list )

I've been trying things all day and i can't find any documentation on the
apple site :(
I just manage to do CheckMenuItem ( so i'm sure I get a correct MenuRef.. )

Thank you
patrice

You just call GetControlValue and SetControlValue on the ControlRef of the
poup menu control. If you need to do an action instantly after choosing an
item you can assign a command value to each menu item which can be checked
in the window callback of the dialog window.
