The only probelm is, that no matter what code I use, I sometimes get a Disposed menu in the menubar (clicking on it will of course crash the system...) The code I'm using is included below: void UpdateMBar(dce) DCtlPtr dce; { register WindowPeek wptr = (WindowPeek) FrontWindow(); /* If our window isn't the frontmost, hide the * menu to avoid menubar clutter. */ if (wptr) { if (wptr->windowKind == dce->dCtlRefNum) { if (!GetMHandle(dce->dCtlMenu)) { InsertMenu(myMenuHandle,0); DrawMenuBar(); } } else if (GetMHandle(dce->dCtlMenu)) { DeleteMenu(dce->dCtlMenu); DrawMenuBar(); } } } Now the only time that the menu is actually Disposed of is after I receive an accClose and have closed the driver. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
