Hi,

as VDS5 triggers clicks on the "main"- menu entry if no submenus are defined I made an option in my app to use office style menues with prakashs popup.dll (he has an example with real menuentries in the menubar).

I found out that vds does not trigger the clicks if I have done some api with the menue (for example hide menue and then insert it again).
So I changed my app to add the menues on login, and remove them on logout.
I use this code:

repeat
%%dummy = @lib(user32,DeleteMenu,BOOL:,%%menubar,1,$400)
%%dummy = @lib(user32,DrawMenuBar,INT:,%%menuBar)
until @equal(@lib(user32,GetMenuItemCount,INT:,%%menubar),1)

If I use normal vds menues this works fine. With the main-menus only (for popup.dll) the app needs around 10 seconds after the loop above to remove the menues. on login (when I re-add the menues) the deleted menues appear again and I have everything duplicated.

Does somebody know what happens here ?

Bye, Fabian

How do you hide and show the menu?

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
I have my firstmenu (file) added on run. The other menues are added after login:

or did you mean the hiding I used before which made vds not trigger the clicks ?
there I used ssmenu.dll

You may try to use callback functions to see when the menu is clicked. Maybe this will still work, even if VDS' 'normal' menu events won't work anymore:

Hi,

nice idea Very Happy

I there a way to get the name of the clicked menu ? Something like comparing actual mouse position does not work for me, because my menues can have different positions for each user.

Thanks for your help.

Bye, Fabian

Try this, although I have no idea how this is going to work if you add/remove menu items randomly... Rolling Eyes

Hi,

I don't understand what @msgparams returns - it's not the menu number.
I made an example which shows my problem:

The remove menu problem is solved. I saw my error on @strdel(@winexists(#PI)) (missing params) after sending this post. So now the menues are removed live. But after re-login they are still duplicated.

I'm not sure I understand your problem - but if you're using
popups for sub-menus, you can use TEXT elements with a
"click" style for top level menus (File, Edit. etc.) and they are
easily removed. It just takes a little more code to do the
mouseover/hilight. Wink

Hi,

thats right. But I offer the user to choose office style menus or not. With the normal menus all works fine, only it the menus don't have childs (what I need to make vdspopup menus), they are removed but not delete from the menubar, so after re-login the appear duplicated. I think there is only a problem with removing when a menu has no childs.
