Alt - key menu highlighting

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

   Hello, Has anyone experienced problems with the Alt key not working for menu highlighting?  I can get all the sample apps to work, but my CXTMenuBar and CoolMenus don't seem to work.  When I say it doesn't work, for instance Alt-F should invoke the file menu, but nothing happends.   I'm probably going to use the new control, but I can't believe I can't track this one down.
Any ideas?

	I emailed Paul and he indicated that he had found the problem. When I called "m_wndMenuBar.CreateEx" in my app, I was setting the UINT nID parameter to some default value for my application. Once I compared my use of CreateEx to the sample apps, I realized I shouldn't be doing this. I let the value go to the default and it has worked fine since.
