Custom Menus

[Xavi]

I've heard a lot of talk about how the custom menus are useful…don't work in EE 2.7, etc. but how do you use and create them?

Do you script them, or is there some sort of non-scripting option for them?

Custom menus work with EE2.7, and yes, they are scripted.  The only thing is, anything the user enters with a custom menu (when you're using it like a quarrybox), it returns 0, but there's a fix for that in the source board.
Really, all you have to do is:
Call CustomMenuShow(index, "Title", "\GUI\CUSTOM\file.bmp", 1)

Isn't that only for textboxes? Clicking Labels and Picture Boxes still works correct?

Yea, it's just for the text boxes (if the user enters a string, it will return 0, it was actually intentional to prevent users from running scripts to the server via custom menus).

Either way, I usually just use prompts and quarryboxes
