69.0. "Forcing menus to remain on-screen..." by WSE159::HOLT (Ultrix Apps Gp @ UCS) Mon Jan 30 1989 21:24

           
    A vendor porting from Sunview to DW wants to know how to
    cope with pullrights/pulldowns that propagate offscreen.
    
    Sunview allegedly forces the menus back on to the screen
    when they run off. This vendor would like to see this behavior 
    under DW as well. 
    
    Has anyone else found the need to implement a "pull left" or "pull
    up" type menu? I imagine that one could utilize t pulling_callback 
    to look at the event, compare x and y of the menu button to the 
    screen coordinates and push the window back on with an XMoveWindow
    call.                                    
    
    I'm open to suggestions of a better way. This way sounds better than
    inserting code into the AppMainLoop, however...
    
    A resource indicating a pull direction for the pulldown menu
    entry would be a nice enhancement.
