Nevermind.  I figured it out from your sample.
 
This is Xbase++ code:
 
STATIC FUNCTION BuildMenu(oCommandBars)
Local oFileMenu, oUtilMenu, oControl
oFileMenu := oCommandBars:ActiveMenuBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlPopup, 0, "&File")
oFileMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 1, "&New")
oFileMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 2, "&Close")
oFileMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 3, "&Save")
oControl := oFileMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 4, "&Print")
oControl:BeginGroup := .t.
oControl := oFileMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 4, "Print Set&up...")
oControl:BeginGroup := .t.
oUtilMenu := oCommandBars:ActiveMenuBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlPopup, 0, "&Util")
oUtilMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 10, "&Dot-Prompt")
oUtilMenu:CommandBar:Controls:Add(xtpControlButton, 11, "&SQL Query")
RETURN nil

Do you have any samples that show how to create a simple Menu Bar?
 
The docs are very confusing on how to do this.
 
After I create a MenuBar with the AddMenuBar() method, how to I add Items to the menu bar?

Hi,
 
I don't know Xbase either... Is OwnerDrawMenu a control or somekind or is it just code to create an ownerdrawmenu? Maybe you can use RemoveWindow, ExcludeModule or RemoveWindowClass methods of SkinFrameWork to exclude skinning for you own menu. If this isn't working you can always use CJ Commandbars instead of your own menu. It isn't difficult to implement and you will have all kinds of (visual) options which you can use
 
Look in forum, you are not the only XBase user and maybe they can tell you how they did and if it was worth it...

Hi,
 
Sorry not sure what to suggest then. Only to try our CommandBars instead.

I work in the language Xbase++, which is not one of your supported languages.

You probably wouldn't be able to figure out anything from the source.
 
I had hopes that this was a problem across all languages and that maybe it is a bug that can be fixed.

Hi,
 
Send us sample code you have for OWNERDRAW menus.

I want to use SkinFramework but don't want to give up my OWNERDRAW menus.

If I set the xtpSkinApplyMenus flag off when I ApplyOptions, I would expect that it would not affect my menus, but they always disappear.

The only way I can get OWNERDRAW menus to work is if I set the xtpSkinApplyFrame flag off, but then I don't get the nice skinned frame that I want.

Is this a bug?
