Antonio,

it doesn't work for us, probably because we don't use these 'temporary' menus only for contextmenu but also for mdi-childs: If we open mdi-child "a", there is a main menu generatet, for example with the id's 20500-20510, then we open mdi-child "b" with the id's 20511-20520. Now "a" again gets the focus and 20500-20510 are being displayes. We close "a", but "b" is still open. But by the end-method, the id's 20511-20520 get destroyed however they are being showed. I think if you only generate context-menus that are directly destroyed after generating, it might work, but not with menus for mdi-childs.

And because of these mdi-childs the use of new id's is more elevated than in other programs, I think. Some mdi-childs use up to 100 ID's, and if you close and open these windows again and again, you can use these roughly 12.000 id's in little time.

Gilbert,

Please place a call to MsgBeep() in Class TMenuItem Method End() and check if the menuitems are getting destroyed when a MDICHILD window is closed.

They should be destroyed.

It doesn't matter if nInitId value is below the used menuitems ids, as those values are already in use by the menuitems. I mean: if the menu is created and if we decrease nInitId later on, the existing menuitems will keep their ids.

Antonio,

when I add menuitem.prg to my makefile, I get the errormessage: _HB_FUN___ADDACCEL referenced from menuitem.obj

Gilbert,

For a test, please add a dummy function:

function __ADDACCEL()

return nil

Antonio,

so, I tested it now, but as I suspected: when I open first window "WA" with menu "MA", it stays open. I open window "WB" with Menu "MB", then focus again to WA, close it, then MA is closed. When I now also close WB with MB, and open a new window "WC" with menu MC, this menu won't work at all. These menus are menus that belong to a Window, so it are not right-click-menus, that open and close in the same order, but sometimes there are 2, 3 or 4 menus in memory, than you close something, open another window and menu and so on. In these cases, I think the menuitem ID isn't clearly allocated anymore to the menuitem.

(The methods New() and ReDefine() in menuitem.prg should return Self instead of Nil)
