Since you have fixed this problem can you tell me if it is the same as
the one I'm having. My forms, menus etc are created with fdesign. If I
set a menu option to FL_PUP_GREY in fdesign the menu item is greyed out
when I run the program. However if I call fl_set_menu_item_mode() to
change the menu item back to FL_PUP_NONE (to make it selectable) in my
program, nothing happens - it stays greyed out. If I leave the menu
items as FL_PUP_NONE in fdesign but grey them out in the program,
similarly they are not greyed out.
Is this a bug or is it more likely I'm doing something wrong?
If a bug, is there a workaround?
I've seen other apps greying out menu items (e.g. xisp and xfmail) so
you must be able to get it to work somehow.
(I am using 0.88 on Linux 2.1.33 in case it makes any difference).
Thanks
