Problem with / Question about menus in button bar (Solved)

[driessen]

Hello,

Problem with menus in the button bar :

Since FWH 15.07 I now or then notice some strange behaviour happening to the titles of my menus.

If I go over the titles with my mouse from the right to the left, the titles vanish one after another. If I go over the titles with my mouse from the left to the righ, the titles appear again.

Question about menus in the button bar :

Is it possible to make the width of the titles of the menus wider? How can I do that?


Thanks a lot in advance.

Michel,

The strings that you use for your menu are AllTrim()ed ?

You can give an example of their menus

It has proved an example:. \ Samples \ testxbr3.prg?

You can try this example?

Yes, Antonio, my menuitems are alltrim()ed.

Michel,

Could you try Cristobal example ?

Also please build samples\fivedit.prg and let me know if its menu does the same as you describe, thanks

[driessen]

I can't build an example since I got a whole list of undefined externals. Don't know why.

But meanwhile, I have found out what causes the problem.

I changed the standard fontsize for the menues from 9 to 11. Normally the size of the menu is adjusted automatically to the font and fontsize used.
In FWH, the menues are not adjusted. The width of the menu doesn't change if I change the fontsize from 9 to 11. It can happen than that titles of menues are put one above the other. But also the presentation of the menuitems is wrong if I have defined a function key to certain menuitems. The function key is put on the menuitem itself.

Why do I need to change the fontsize? Since I use a 24" screen, my menues are becoming very small, hardly to read.

Anyone an idea for this problem?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Michel,

> if I change the fontsize from 9 to 11

Have you changed it in Windows settings or from your PRG ?

Cristobal recently has done a great job on FWH menus so surely his advise will be of great help

Antonio, I changed the fontsize in Windows.
