Re: Slashes in menu items and listview headers ?

Hi Fred,

Thanks for trying out and reporting!

As for the menu, I tried it with quickmenu's and as you know these
use the slash for separating menu items.
I have to consider to replace all quickmenu's for xMenu's or perhaps
a universal xRoutine that simulates quickmenu's while using xMenu.

And yes, listview lvcolumn attributes have the same problem as
quickmenu's by using slashes as separators.
