Second of all, common sense would say, "This dude would like references on how to use xml to create menus."

Then common sense would say, "So lets get him everything I can find, and explain to him that he can create menus dynamically from external files or from xml resources."

AND if you were thinking at all, you would figure that if this person, zaryk, was asking for references on how to use xml to create menus, then more than likely he hasn't done it before, and probably doesn't know a lot about using xml files in a program and can't give you a lot of detail about how he wants to use xml files, so asking, "Menus??? Where???", is quite stupid and deserves a smarta$$ remark.

"Menus??? Where???" can also be taken as sarcasm.

: )

OH, and one more thing. You really ought to read before you state stuff like:



I wasn't stating anyone as being "stupid" when I said:



I was just stating your question was stupid.

If you don't have the common sense to know not to insult people from whom you ask for help...if you can't even figure out something basic like that...then are you really smart enough for a career in software development?

Okay, I actually though that my small hint was enough....but apparently it was not. So let's try this again.

This thread is going off-topic and many posts are on the verge of violating the Acceptable Use Policy. Since the last posts are focussing more on personal arguments than technical ones, I again ask for either keeping it technical or otherwise, this thread will be closed.

Thank you very much.

To me, it is surely possible to guess and provide the possibilities, but it is you who is seeking, I am just here to help, not paid to help, so I don't want myself to guess and read your mind and waste a lot of time... It should be you who provides all the details of what you are looking for, not my work to guess, is it ? What is more of common sense ? If you know so much of common sense, why didn't you simply provide details on what exactly you are looking for ? Like you should have said "I want to create menu entries dynamically by reading the XML file stored along with my exe/dll, the XML would have something like <menu root>File<Menu item>OPen</menu item></menu root>....", did you ?

The words 'create menu' and 'XML' could relate to each other for several reasons, who knows that you exactly want it to be dynamic menu based on XML entries ? it could also mean that you want to create menus using XML in some environment/framework which support it, Now that would be total guesswork, and if it is wrong then the OP will be confused if he/she doesn't understand much of the described...

And when you want some information, you shouldn't try to get on the wrong side of the guys who have it, isn't that another common sense point ?

Yeah ? Do we have a common understanding here ? Well, I don't want to drag this to something else, so...:wave:

This is what I understand. I understand that I gave a statement that deserves broad answers. If I wanted to give a statement that deserves specific answers,like your example, then I would have done just that. So that is why I didn't provide more details on exactly what I am looking for.

So, if you don't want to give a broad answer then don't give an answer at all, but either way, its up to you, because either way, I'm gonna find the answer, whether here or there.

Thread is now closed....
