Is it possible to modify the text of certain application menu options?
Yes. The WinMessPro object can do this. However it is not free if your game isn't if you want to use it for free then you can't sell your app. I think it's $5 for commercial use...
Anyway it is on http://www.bumderland.com/objects/ ;)
how do I find out the item ID? :)
Not sure XD Maybe use the Kernel object? Are there expressions for the application window? I have tested this object but cannot remember how I got it to work.
I found out you can use MainWindowHandle( "WinMessPro" ) for the app itself, but I have no idea how to find the specific item IDs :(
I tried a bit of trial and error but with no luck
Maybe you should just start with no menu, and then create it at start of frame so that you know what all the IDs are.
adding to the menu requires submenu IDs and a lot of other stuff I have no idea about D:
beside it would break all my "has menu option been selected?" events
I am trying to add items to a list object to show the menu items and thier IDs but I keep getting blank. I'll keep this up until I figure it out so hopefully I can help you. :)
sounds great :D
Try as I might, I can't quite figure out how this is supposed to work. :\

That's as far as I got. :(
those are some seriously weird IDs o_O
1009 is 'Quit', 1010 is 'New' and 2001 is 'Hi' :O
Oh heh, I hadn't thought to go over 1000. Well, at least you can find the IDs with this method...
yes I got them! Thanks mate, works like a charm :D
gonna save it for future use!
