    Is there anyone out there with experience in using the ObjectAda
    GUI-Builder to build a program with menus in it?

    I have worked through the example GUI-Builder app provided in the
    documentation and successfully built a small app which has a
    button which when pressed, changes the color of the screen. So
    far, so good. But then I go in and use the menu builder to add
    some options to the menu bar for the same app. Inside the
    GUI-builder, you can see the menus just fine. I attach some null
    code to the procedures connected to the menu options. Still fine.
    Compile, link & run and there are no menus - just the button left
    over from the previous example. Some menu code is embedded in the
    app, but I don't know enough about Windows programming to tell if
    there's something missing or wrong with the procedure calls being
    made.

    Either A) I am doing something fundamentally wrong, missing a
    step, failing to specify an option or otherwise just plain not
    getting it right. Or B) ObjectAda has a defect in the GUI-Builder
    that keeps it from properly building menus. The documentation is a
    little thin regarding the GUI-Builder and how it should be used,
    so I'm at a bit of a loss. If the situation is "A" I'd like to
    find someone who could send me some step-by-step instructions on
    how to get menus to build into the app. If the situation is "B" it
    would help to know that what I'm attempting is in fact impossible
    with the current release & I can then shelve my evaluation/app
    until I can find a GUI-Builder that will do what I need.

    Any help in this would be appreciated.
