I think this might be a slight bug. The code insert tool creates the "ShowMenu" function rather than the "show menu" command. According to the docs, ShowMenu is deprecated as of Quest 5.4.

This is one area of the docs that is confusing. It turns out there is an *old* ShowMenu that is deprecated. But now there is a new, inline ShowMenu that is the one used when adding a script.

Well, I'm confused.

Where is the documentation for the new ShowMenu? If it has the same syntax and the same name, how is it deprecated?

It reminds me of that old joke, "The Odyssey wasn't written by Homer but by another man with the same name."

Here is the thread where I learned about it:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3806

See if that helps at all.

Ok, so basically the documents are out of date, in regard to the once-and-future ShowMenu function.

Thanks!
