Exporting a Menu
#1
Hello again!

So I've been using quick macros a lot this days and I'm creating macros that are helping me a lot!

I have a doubt about menus now. I understand that you cannot export a menu into a .exe and that you have to create a macro to run a function that will run the menu. The thing is, I don't really know how to do it so I went searching online for help. And I found this function:

Code:
Copy      Help
\
function# $template [$tempitemname] [sync]

Shows popup menu created at run time.
Replaces every {menuname} in template text with submenu created
   from a menu (QM item) whose name is menuname.
{menuname} must be at the beginning of a line. It can be preceded
   by tabs. If it is followed by more text in the same line, the
   menu name is not inserted.
If menu menuname does not exist, removes the line.

template - menu text (if multiline), or existing menu name (if single line).
tempitemname - the name of the temporary menu. Default: "temp_menu".
sync - if nonzero, waits and returns 1-based index of selected line.


str s sn st sr si; int i
ARRAY(CHARRANGE) a

if(findc(template 10)<0) s.getmacro(template)
else s=template

if(findrx(s "^\t*\{(.+?)\}([^[]]*)$" 0 12 a))
    for i a.len-1 -1 -1
        CHARRANGE r(a[0 i]) rn(a[1 i]) ri(a[2 i])
        sn.get(s rn.cpMin rn.cpMax-rn.cpMin)
        st.getmacro(sn); err s.remove(r.cpMin r.cpMax-r.cpMin+2); continue
        st.rtrim("[]")
        if(ri.cpMax>ri.cpMin) si.get(s ri.cpMin ri.cpMax-ri.cpMin); sn=""; else si=""
        sr.format(">%s%s[]%s[]<" sn si st)
        s.replace(sr r.cpMin r.cpMax-r.cpMin)

out s
ret DynamicMenu(s tempitemname sync)
err+ end _error

Then I created a macro to run this function and whenever I try to create an .exe from this macro I get this error:

Error in DynamicMenu: cannot be used in exe.
Cannot make exe. Error 4, failed to compile.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you so much for your time!
