Problem with menus

Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:09 pm

Hello,

I have a problem with the menus of my main window.

The code is :

----------------------------
BuildMenu()
oWnd:SetMenu(oMenu)
----------------------------

I made a procedure BuildMenu() which reads the menus out of a file into oMenu.

The menus are set by : oWnd:SetMenu(oMenu).

I need to do this because, depending on some settings set by the user, the menus need to be changed.

That works fine until I passed these code lines between 10 or 15 times.

Then I can click on one of my menuitems, but nothing happens anymore.

The only thing I can do is quitting my application and restarting it. Then the menu is working fine again until I passed between 10 or 15 times the code I mentioned.

What is the reason for this problem and how can I solve it ?

Thanks.

Michel

Michel,

>That works fine until I passed these code lines between 10 or 15 times.

I don't understand why you would read the menu more than once per run. Since it is the application's main window it is opened and remains open until the user quits the app.

Michel,

Do you use:

Code: Select all

MENU oMenu
   MENUITEM ...
   ...
ENDMENU
to build your menu from inside BuildMenu() ? Please show us a portion of your code, thanks

James,

The reason for the menu to be changed while running my application, has to do with priorities, but also with adding documents in menus that have been added, etc.

Antonio,

Here is the code I use :

Code: Select all

FUNCTION BuildMenu1

   LOCAL OldPar := {ALIAS(),INDEXORD(),RECNO()}

   DeleteObject(oMenu)
   MEMORY(-1)
   SYSREFRESH()

   SELECT US
   SET ORDER TO 3
   SEEK(UPPER(nUser))

   oMenu := NIL

   MENU oMenu

               SET ORDER TO i

Michel,

Please modify your code so your function returns the new oMenu object:

oWnd:SetMenu( BuildMenu() )

and declare oMenu as a local inside BuildMenu() that is finally returned: return oMenu

Antonio,

Thanks for your answer.

I changed the code as you told me to but if the "osetmenu" sentence is executed between 10 and 15 times, the menuitems don't work anymore.

Have a nice weekend.

Michel

Michel,

Please test this sample, it seems to work fine:

Code: Select all

#include "FiveWin.ch"

function Main()

   local oWnd, oBar

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "Menus Test" ;
      MENU BuildMenu()

   DEFINE BUTTONBAR oBar OF oWnd 3D

   DEFINE BUTTON OF oBar ACTION oWnd:SetMenu( BuildMenu() )

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

return nil

function BuildMenu()

   local oMenu

   MENU oMenu
      MENUITEM "Test"
      MENU
         MENUITEM "One"   ACTION MsgInfo( "One" )
         MENUITEM "Two"   ACTION MsgInfo( "Two" )
         MENUITEM "Three" ACTION MsgInfo( "Three" )
      ENDMENU
   ENDMENU

return oMenu
