4050.0. "Sticky menus?" by ANOSWS::COMFORT (Spent a little time on the hill) Fri Nov 06 1992 11:32

    
    Hi,
    
    My customer has asked whether the menus in the MCC IMPM can be made
    "sticky"?

Sure!  Just take a can of coke, shake it and spray it on your workstation
screen.  Voila! Sticky menus.

Seriously, what the hell does "sticky menus" mean?

    If it's diet coke, I'll try it :-).
    
    Sticky menus, like in MS-Windows or in MOTIF.  When you click on a menu
    selection on the menu bar (ie. FILE), the file menu comes up and stays
    up even after you release the mouse button.  Then one just positions
    the pointer at the appropriate menu selection and click again. 
    No more dragging the mouse while holding down the button.

re -.1   

Oh, OK.    What you describe is default behavior for the V1.3 Iconic Map PM
(it's Motif).    

Tell your customer we put it in JUST FOR THEM in the next release.... ;^) 
That should make them feel good!
