FWH - New Office 2007 menus !!!
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 03:43 AM

>The issue pointed out by Mr. James regarding the white line between the menu and buttonbar is still to be fixed.

Actually, that is not what I meant. What was happening was that the section of the white line under the menu was changing to blue when the cursor was moved over the menu choice. That has been fixed--it no longer changes to blue.

I think the white line is supposed to be there--it is a highlighted edge of the buttonbar. I don't have a copy of Office 2007 here to compare it to though.

I agree that there is still a problem with top level menu choices that are disabled with the WHEN clause.

Mr James

I did understand you correctly. In the latest version I got a few hours back, the white line is still turning blue in the circumstances you explained above.

I also remember Mr. Antonio said he fixed it. Sure he must have and you might have tested it then.

> That has been fixed--it no longer changes to blue.

The point is in the latest libs I got now the problem is there. Dont know why the problem resurfaced. I never had the earlier version you checked.

After seeing your post, I redownloaded, unzipped again and confirm this.

And right you are! It is late here and my eyes are tired and not as good as they used to be. I used a maginfier to look at it again, and the blue is still there.

James,

Are you testing on Windows XP ? On Vista is fine.

James,

To disable top menu items, the DISABLE clause has to be used. We can't use WHEN ... there as WHEN is only evaluated when the menuitem is clicked

We found a workaround :-)

Now both WHEN .F. and DISABLE are fine on the top bar menuitems

Again the old problem with RPreview.Prg has cropped up. Earlier it was fixed but now after adopting the new color scheme the fix seems to have been lost.
In MDI environment when I am closing the last Mdi Preview window, error is occuring.

Error is reproduced here: ( Though I dont have the line numbers I suspect that the error may be in the PaintMeta function )

About the new libs:

  1. Chaning the whiteline's color to blue is fixed. Working well on XP.

  2. When.f. Issue:
    Both top bar items and dropdown items are grayed with When.F. also, but ONLY when the item does not have a submenu. (This is very unlikely with topbar menu items)

    If the top bar item has a dropdown menu or the submenu has a child submenu, even if the item is disabled with When..F. clause, the menuitem ( both on top bar and dropdown ) looks enabled, we can navigate to the item, item gets highlighted with orange color. However all its submenu items are grayed. Seems this is still to be addressed.

Antonio,

The last item on the top menu (on the right) is not displaying items in the pulldown. It only shows a separator bar and it shows this bar even if no seperator bar was specified and if there are no items in the pulldown.
