I've tried that and it doesn't seem to happen.
After following up another reply, I've found that it works if I remove the
NM_COMMANDSTRING flag, from the flags field of the NewMenu structure. So
what is NM_COMMANDSTRING meant to do?

OK. Thanks.
I now have this code (modified example in the guigfx autodocs):
ULONG __saveds abortdrawfunc(__reg("a0") struct Hook *hook*)
{
return(TRUE);
}
But I still can't initialise the h_Entry field of the Hook structure. If I
do this:
hook->h_Entry = (HOOKFUNC)abortdrawfunc;
VBCC complains "unknown identifier <abortdrawfunc>". And if I put brackets
after it, it'll just cast the result of a call to abortdrawfunc(). I then
tried:
hook->h_Entry = (HOOKFUNC)(abortdrawfunc)();
Which calls abortdrawfunc() and casts the result. Not really what I want ;).
Does anyone know how to obtain a function pointer in VBCC?
