[Pythonmac-SIG] Can't get there from here?

[Steven D. Majewski]

In the continuing saga to build a better dialog... 

 Inside Mac says that if a Dialog has an editable text item in it,
then it doesn't disable the Edit menu when processing events --
and this seems to be the case for my dialog when I use ModalDialog
to process it, however, for a movable modal dialog, where I'm
processing it with WaitNextEvent & DialogSelect, the items in 
the Edit menu are disabled. 
 I'm not doing anything explicitly to disable those items and they are
enabled before I call my dialog handler -- anyone know what turns 
them off ? 


  I could turn them off if I could get a handle to the Edit menu.
Framework.py clears it's menubar and builds a new one, so it keeps
it's own list of menus. 
  Menu.GetMenuBar() should return the current menu list, however, 
it returns this handle as a resource object. Is there any way 
from this to walk the list of menus in the menu bar ? 
  

( If not, then that's another toolbox TODO: change GetMenuBar()
  to return the list of windows instead of an opaque resource. ) 


 Is this info encoded in resource.data, or is that just garbage
 if it's not a real resource?
