Add menu item to gui info

Paul,

I have no idea what you’re asking. You’re asking about adding menu items and then giving snippets of form creation functions and talking about attachment lists. I can’t see what one has to do with the other or what you are hoping to find out.

Sorry I for the vague question

I have no problem in adding a menu item to a form. The problem I have is when I add the item I dont have the ability to stretch the menu and the menu items change in size also.

The ?attatchmentList feature on the forms is nice when you change the size of the gui the menu buttons also change in size

I was wondering can I add to the attatchmentList to the form or do I have to re create the form with the correct number of attatchmentList.

Paul,

I don't understand what you mean by adding menu items to a form. Forms don't have menu items, unless you are either talking about window forms (in which case you're adding pulldown menus to the window, not the form) or are talking about context (right mouse button) menus over (say) tree fields, In either case I can't see what that has to do with attachment lists because that only affects the fields on the form.

If you were just asking about adding another field to a form using hiAddField, then that has an optional third argument which is the attachment to use (if using attachment forms).

I would generally recommend using hiLayout forms anyway nowadays rather than 2D forms with attachments, as these have better geometry management and are much easier to create (you don't need to worry about coordinates for example). You can add new items to such forms with hiAddItemToLayout.
