Noob question. Create menus on current window

BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/Noob question. Create menus on current window

iprice(Posted 2008) [#1]
I've had MaxGUI for ages, but never needed to use it until now.

How can I create a menu attached to the current window
Graphics 800,600,0,60

without creating a new window or do I have to create a GUIwindow instead and not call the Graphics command?

I'm using -
 window=CreateWindow("My Window",40,40,320,240)
 filemenu=CreateMenu("&File",0,WindowMenu(window))


which creates a new window and menu. What I want is -
 filemenu=CreateMenu("&File",0,WindowMenu(CURRENT WINDOW))


If I create a window (800x600) will I be able to draw on it with images etc. ?

I'm not worried about speed issues, as this is for an editor and does not require much happening on screen at any one time.

Also, is there a GUI window that will allow me to OPEN/LOAD/SAVE data with a name the user can specify (eg SAVE AS - then user inputtd name).

Sorry about the noobishness of these questions, but I am not used to developing using GUI commands.

Cheers.
