Smith Version: 1.9.0 OS: WinXp Submission from: (NULL) (129.255.217.48) WinXP; R 1.9.0 running under Rgui.exe. winMenuAdd calls via my .Rprofile file do not seem to work and, instead, result in the following error message after the R GUI starts: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" Any subsequent calls to winMenuAdd from the R console GUI window work fine.

Microsoft Windows R users, I am operating Windows 2000 (build2195) with R1.7. It may be pertinent that I am using a dual head screen with the initial RGui filing the entire area of both screens. When starting R I use the .First() function to add menu items to the RGui interface using winMenuAdd() and winMenuAddItem(). The menus do not display until the RGui window is physically manipulated in some way. In R1.6.2 the menus were immediately available without the need to manipulate the window. In all other ways the menus function as previously. Questions; 1) does anyone else get the same b...

Dear list mates, Are {utils} dialog box functions, and winMenuAdd... functions used to change (e.g. Console) menus, platform dependent? I'm writing a script loaded with .First that provides first time users in a lab course with the ability to select, load, and change between what I called a 'session' (more specific save that focuses on the session o...

I'm using Rprofile file on R1.9.0 startup and inside I'm loading a personal Library which uses winMenuAdd() and I've got this error : Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" I hadn't this problem with others R versions. What Can I do now to avoid that? I'm using R1.9.0 under Win98. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

However, if I run > library(RWinEdt) from the gui.exe interface, everything goes well. How can I manage with this "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd" generated by a call to library(RWinEdt) in the...

I am using the Windows menu functions below which will work on the first pass, but if I repeat the same script I cannot get the WinMenuAddItem to work. This is a problem if I change the menu structure and reread the source code I am forced to quit and restart Rgui. "try.menu" <- function(){ OS <- .Platform$OS.type GUI <- .Platform$GUI if (!(OS == "windows" & GUI == "Rgui")) return(&quo...

Hi all, In the CHANGES file for R-2.3.0alpha, there is the following statement: winMenuAdd() now has no limits on the number of menus or items, and names are now limited to 500 (not 50) bytes. However, I can reproducibly get a segfault using this (admittedly silly) example: for( i in 1:5) winMenuAdd(paste("Test", letters[i], sep="")) for(i in 1:5) for(j in 1:24) win...

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and Rconsole files works fine. Have fun. Cheers, Bert Gunter Bi...

One can easily add another menu (and menu item) for this in Rgui: winSearch <- function() { string <- winDialogString("Search string", "") RSiteSearch(string) } winMenuAdd("Search") winMenuAddItem("Search", "Search R Site", "winSearch()") Andy

Dear R-ians: I'm running R2.9.2 on a 6 year old Windows XP DELL with 2 Gig RAM and a 3MHz Pentium 4 chip. I've written a package using the User Menus Under Windows commands (winMenuAdd, etc). It works very well. I have 6 test cases and running any one of them requires many selections form the menus and some keyboard entry, and it takes me hours to exercise them all to see that my changes to the R code produced no unexpected results. Is there a way to record my mouse mo...

...t <- function() {...} in the Rprofile.site file. Through .First() I'm adding several menus to the GUI to access several functions I've been developing for own use. However, I also need to launch R scripts silently in a batch way, and in this case I get the error message: "Error in winMenuAdd(menuname, NULL, NULL): Menu functions can only be used in the GUI" Do you know about about a way to selectively read the .First() function just for Rgui.exe, but not for call to R.exe? Thanks and best regards, Javier ---

I just noticed the following in Rgui: > winMenuAdd('test') # adds a menu > winMenuAddItem('test', 'item', 'x') # adds an item to it > winMenuDel('test') # deletes the menu... > winMenuItems('test') # but leaves the item behind. item "x" Would anyone object i...

Quite often I save misc functions and data objects as .RData files that I can use in other sessions. Although I could 'Load Workspace" these files, most of the times I prefer attaching them. It would be really convenient to have a menu item under the File menu on the Windows R Console to allow attaching workspaces, e.g. -------------------- Attach Workspace... Load Workspace... Save

Folks: I have found R's fewWindoze GUI Widgets (like winDialog, choose.files,winMenuAdd etc.) to be quite useful in building simple but functional interfaces (I hesitate to call them GUI's) for one-off applications for non-R users. It's quite easy for me to write statistical "solutions" in R, slap on a little GUI that allows users access to the functionality, and the...

Dear R developers, I asked this question in r-help list but have not got a definite solution yet, and I think it might be more appropriate to ask developers or CRAN maintainers directly. Many software packages often have a menu item like "Check for updates" under the "Help" menu, e.g. Filezilla and Firefox, and I believe it is also necessary for R (at least for R GUI under
