The following is a little test for tear off menus in wxPython. I altered my
(fairly standard) menu building function to declare all of the menus as
having the tear off style. They don't seemed to be "tearable". Any ideas
why? (I'm on Win2K using wxPython 2.2.5 under python 1.5.2).
The malfunctioning code is below...
Incidentally, I notice that there is no explicit menu demo in the wxPython
demo. I will see about adding a cookbook entry for it when I get the
chance.
Enjoy yourselves,
Mike
