Drawing Bug with Floating MenuBar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When the ActiveMenuBar is floating, it normally draws with a "title" area at the top of the floating toolbar indicating "Menu Bar".  When the style of the ActiveMenuBar is set to XTP_CBRS_GRIPPER, the "title" area no longer draws.
Attached screen print shows the bug; ABF_menu_bug.zip
Applies to ActiveX 8.61

	Then you remove this flag, assumed that you call CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.EnableDocking xtpFlagStretched to disable menubar floating.

	I just thought this is something you might want to correct. I guess this is based on the assumption that you would not hide grippers on toolbars that can be undocked, but that may not always be the case depending on the designer's preference. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the follow-up!

	Oleg, Your suggestion exposes another bug. If I use your suggested code along with the new feature in 8.61 to display the MDI Sys Menu, the MDI Menu icon will no longer appear in the toolbar. The following code is being used: With CommandBars .LoadDesignerBars .ShowTabWorkspace True .ActiveMenuBar.SetFlags xtpFlagAddMDISysPopup, 0 .ActiveMenuBar.ModifyStyle XTP_CBRS_GRIPPER, 0 .ActiveMenuBar.EnableDocking xtpFlagStretched End With I would expect this code to display the main menu with no gripper, non-dockable, and with the MDI Sys Popup menu. I get everything except the MDI Sys Popup menu. Any suggestions on how to resolve these conflicts? Thanks in advance!
