Martin -
Thank for fixing the oversight. There are still a couple of Dynamic Menu
issues that will need to be resolved. Specifically restoring the previous
labelset, but I need to build a Win32 test plugin that manipulates the menu
system. Either that or graduate to the Linux level of development.
Before I do that, I want to manipulate the TBSets along the same line as the
menus. Strings would be part of the .strings files and xpms would be
handled by an icon class similarly to StringSet structure.
Cheers!
