Friends: Is David Parks' presentation package --from his fantastic web page-- usable in v.7?

That organizational structure is different than what I'm using. I guess I need to comprehend the box structure of mathematica... for example "BoxData" doesn't seem to be a documented primitive (It is referenced inside the Cell[] documentation as a one-liner). Is there a how-to or otherwise some documentation that describes when to use BoxData vs. ToBoxes vs. whatever or is it one of those "It depends and it's complicated" things? -jbl On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 2:09 PM, Adam Griffith <adamg at wolfram.com> wrote: > I would suggest placing the code for the menus in a DynamicModule. > > > Notebook[........ , DockedCells->Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes at DynamicModule[..... > all code.....], "DockedCell"]] > > -Adam > > > Jason Ledbetter wrote: > >> Folk, >> I'm attempting to create a dynamically-appearing set of choices/menus >> using >> ButtonBar in a notebook window but I've been unable to get the desired >> affect to date.
