PureBasic Forums - English

If I work a few minutes with my program the toolbar buttons disappear completly.

Thorsten I am thinking this may be a refresh issue. You may have to simply recall all active elements... BUT I am only stating. I did not write this code and have only played with it in my Restaurant Poitn of Sale application so far!

A question: Does this happen in the IDE or in the compiled version?

If IDE, what IDE are you using?

The compiled version.
The window contains a menu, a toolbar, a sidebar and a listicon.
The toolbar is inside a container gadget.

Check the container does not have the #WS_CLIPCHILDREN style.

Hi Thorsten!

I'll see if I can replicate the problem, I've just been a bit busy this week trying to find a flat.

Thanks Rook and Srod btw for helping with the debugging! much appreciated!

Thorsten, have you tried putting the menu and toolbar inside a rebar? (this is probably a better approach)

Cheers!

Chris.

Can I close the dropdown menue manually?

MenuExample1.pb compiled with x86 versions of Purebasic 4.31 and 4.40b4 in both userlib and .dll mode on Windows 7 x64:

Compiled THEMES ON or OFF?

Themes OFF! Thank you for your help, with enabled XP skin support everything looks great!

Thanks Rook, beat me to it!

Can I close the dropdown menue manually?

hmmm, not sure what you mean there Thorsten. endmenu_() perhaps ?

Chris.

If another gadget gets the focus, I want close the dropdown menu, if it's open.

If another gadget gets the focus, I want close the dropdown menu, if it's open.

Ahh right, yes endmenu_() should do the trick. Just call that command when the other gadget gains focus and any active menu will be closed.

Chris.

That sounds good. I'll try it.

Hi Chris,
when I use the "#UISTYLE_WHIDBEY" style the menu does not look like it should, in my opinion. It's just the Office XP style but it should look like this:

(So it is actually the #UISTYLE_OFFICE2003 style but with differen colors)

Hey man!

Ah, I see what you mean. I was under the impression that "Whidbey" was the formal name for the Office XP style? however you can simply use the #UISTYLE_OFFICE2003 with custom colours to achieve that look if you wish
