Optionmenugrp

Hi again

sorry for this request, but i despare of this.

i just have an optionMenuGrp ... and want to be one item to be selected at the creation of the window.
but always when i take the -select flag and write the number behind maya says ... "value is out of range : (e.g.) 3".

optionMenuGrp -width 55
-cc "CGP_pasteToFloatField ()"
-select
valueOptionMenuGrp`;

		string $option1 = `menuItem -label "0.001"`;
		string $option2 = `menuItem -label "0.01"`;
		string $option3 = `menuItem -label "0.1"`;
		string $option4 = `menuItem -label "1"`;
		string $option5 = `menuItem -label "10"`;
		string $option6 = `menuItem -label "100"`;
		string $option7 = `menuItem -label "1000"`;

sorry for this post ... was an accident ...
pls delete it!

when you initialise the optionmenu for the first time (with the original command) it HAS NO ITEMS!!

it only has items AFTER you add them after the command.

you just have to edit the optionmenu after you create it:

CODE
optionMenu myMenu;
  menuItem -l "thing1";
  menuItem -l "thing2";
  menuItem -l "thing3";

optionMenu -e -sl 2 myMenu;

:nathaN

(p.s. the above example is practically psusdo-code as I don't have Maya to hand..!)
