Hey all, for those using Cursor driven menus, is there a way to make sure
when a user enters that menu the cursor is at the first choice? I have set
the X and Y co-ordinates in the settings on the menu but it always defaults
to where I left off.. Any ideas??

Thanks..

Gosh darnit, I had this issue before... fixed it... and can't remember how I figured that issue. Mystic is odd at times and seems like it doesn't do that on every menu, but sometimes. Its something we're doing, but...

I do remember that once when I hit that, adding another menu item changed the end result and it went back to the upper-left 1st selection. That isn't much help; if I poke around and remember I'll post back.

Thanks Paulie, it's driving me nuts. I have had my main menu as Cursor driven for quite a while and now am redoing all of my menus to lightbar/grid menus
and this one thing is getting me. LOL Still a ways off before I release the
new menus on the board (Doors menus will be done this week) then the rest hopefully 1 or 2 a day.

Oh well...

My first suggestion would be to upgrade to the latest prealpha. It's possible this was already addressed sometime in the past year and two months.

I use grid for all of my lightbar menus here, mainly just to be able to utilize all four directions, and have never seen this issue before.. then again, I don't think I saw it in A46 either, but that's too long ago to remember.

Do you have "Redraw After" for each menu item set to yes? If not, try that. Otherwise, that's really the only thing I can think of out of the ordinary. If that doesn't work, I/we may need some more specifics or possibly some screenshots of your configuration (Menu Options, Menu Settings (/ in menu options menu), and what the output looks like would be a good place to start).

Every time a menu is loaded it should always go to the first command in the menu, unless maybe the menu isn't exited properly? Are you possibly using GoSubs and returns? If you are, then I'd imagine you're not actually exiting the menu and restarting it when you return, so things will be left where you originally left it. In that case, I would try using the GO action command instead of GS. That way it actually exits the lightbar menu, and when you use GO to go back to the lightbar menu it will start it up fresh again.

Hope one of those helps ya!

Regards,
Nick

Didn't even realize A46 was this old.. That is on my list now to upgrade to A47..

Redraw after is on with each menu item. I will double check all settings, everything works great, just the first option isn't always chosen. I will double check my settings again..

No gosubs, or returns, Just plain go commands.

Hope one of those helps ya!

Thanks for the help.. I Will give all the settings another lookover and see what I come up with...

Just as an add on to this, I fixed my issue but moving the command that I wanted to be first to the top of the list. Once doing that it goes to that option all the time.. Thanks for the help..

... Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?
