Removing the Menu Message Window

If your menu field has a message associated with it, the menu message window is displayed when the user moves into the menu field. When the system calls your action function, it does not take the menu message window down. You can take the message window down in your action function, but you should put the window back up before the action function returns. The following code fragment checks whether the menu message window is set, and if so, removes the window and then restores it.

MFORMPTR mfmp;

int restore_wn = FALSE;



if (restore_wn = wn_isup(mfmp->msg_wnp))

    wn_dn(mfmp->msg_wnp);

....

if (restore_wn)

    wn_up(mfmp->msg_wnp);
