MFC Dialog Based Menus Broken

Observe below, we have a Main menu displayed at top and a MFC Dialog with a menu as well. All *looks* okay right now.

Now we try to access the menus. When I click on the dialog menu items NOTHING happens, they are dead. But if I click on the dialog icon, I get this:

Notice the menu is dropping out of the WRONG place. It's above the menu bar. As I move the mouse across that area, suddenly menu items are painted and appear. We now have a duplicate menu, that's a Bad Thing.

Again, the menus are duplicated - the bottom one is dead, and the top one works, but is wrong.

So we end up with this... I can't ship a product with this. 

We upgraded (paid more money), specifically to get the fix to this bug. I need this fixed so we can ship our product.

Please respond to this post with an ETA for this fix.

Thank you.

	Hello, If you have line XTPSkinManager()->SetApplyOptions(..); check that you added xtpSkinApplyMenus apply option. Or just remove this line - all apply options enabled by default.

	That solution worked. We now have menu's in our dialogs that work correctly. THANK YOU. You now have a much happier customer. I do appreciate it. I was going to put [Solved] in the topic title, but I can't see how. Thanks again. -Kent
