The base:library contains many useful functions for creating:
A lot of software makes use of menu's. Menu's are a means for the user to perform certain actions with the application. Often even the simplest applications have a menu built in, beit small, beit extensive and all variations in between.
In readiness for the next AmigaOS4 SDK, we are going to take a look at the new popup menu feature of the BOOPSI window.class, and how it can be used, and expanded upon, by the programmer.
The complexity of the user interface of a program can increase along with the features of the program itself, and finding a healthy balance of usability and functionality is sometimes more difficult than you might think.
