Hello,

Does some kind of bcall exist such that you can create your own menus and your own edit fields (as in the homescreen).
If not, is it possible to hook into a existing menu, allowing to change it, or the homescreen and later call back to your app.

You should look into the home screen hook, and the menu hook. Also, check out wikiti.

How should I tell the OS to open a menu? Using a bcall?
And can you just run your app once your hook has been called, by calling other functions? Are there RAM areas you can't use anymore?
I don't have experience using hooks, are there other things to look out for?

I would recommend to you the dialog routines. Crappy notes at http://brandonw.net/calcstuff/dialogNotes.txt and example code at http://brandonw.net/calcstuff/ddemo.zip Not exactly "OS menus" (though there are BCALLs for that), this is more to replicate what you see on the Table Setup or Window screens.

Thanks! But these anwsers keep raising new questions :P

Which bcalls are there for the 'real' menu?
Is one of those menu ids at dialogxxx for an input session (like the homescreen, or the equation screen)?

You might want to take a look it this: http://www.detachedsolutions.com/forum/m/26086/#msg_26086
It might also be totally useless to you, I haven't looked at it. Good luck ;)

Side note: Happy birthday Brandon!
