XEROX DEFAULTSUBITEMFN 2 4 1 DefaultSubitemFn 1 4 By: Nick Briggs (Briggs.pa@Xerox.com) The DefaultSubitemFn package redefines the DEFAULTSUBITEMFN to permit an extended specification of menu subitems. If the CAR of the 4th element of a menu item is the keyword EVAL, the CADR of that 4th element is evaluated and the results used as the subitem specifications. During the evaluation the variables MENU and ITEM are bound respectively to the menu and item of which the EVAL subitem spec is a part. This package is only a stopgap measure until it is possible to easily redefine the BackgroundMenu subitem function, but it will provide this facility on all menus that do not explicity specify a subitem function. example menu item entries: (foo foo.selected "No help for you!" (EVAL dynamic.foo.subitems)) using a variable containing subitems, or (foo foo.selected "No help for you!" (EVAL (compute.foo.subitems)) using a function to recompute the subitems. It is prudent to make the expressions used in the EVAL subitems quite efficient, since they will be called many times.(LIST ((PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC ) STARTINGPAGE# 1) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD CENTERED) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC )) (174 36 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE RUNNINGHEAD) (84 744 528 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (84 96 456 600) NIL))) (PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC ) STARTINGPAGE# NIL) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD CENTERED) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC )) (174 36 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE RUNNINGHEAD) (84 744 528 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (84 96 456 600) NIL))) (PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC ) STARTINGPAGE# NIL) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD CENTERED) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC )) (174 36 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE RUNNINGHEAD) (84 744 528 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (84 96 456 600) NIL)))))(È (È(ŠŠ8(ŠŠ8DÈÈ PAGEHEADING RUNNINGHEADTERMINALMODERN MODERN MODERNLOGO HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN 'tC)D,v@&zº
