Wrong use of "..." on menu itmes

In a Windows environment, "..." after a menu command is supposed to indicate that the command will open a new dialog window. C::B is not entirely consistent about this.

As you are aware that *Plugins* menu is dynamically recreated, it is difficult to add '...' to the plugins which shows a dialog. IMO a SDK function may be added to do the check.

I'm marking this as fixed as the remaining fix may take some time.

I dont know what you mean.

I'm talking about the fact that many of the menu items on the main menu have ... on them when they invoke no dialogs, and many of them invoke dialogs that have dont have the ... on them.

I've already applied an patch in Revision 3789 which fixes *most* but the *Plugins* menu issue. Thus I marked it as fixed.

I wrote that as I couldn't fix the *Plugins* menu issue. Try a latest svn code and you'll find them to be fixed already.
