Have you upgraded to 7.1.1007? There was a bug correction for this.

Yeh, my first impression was that the text was disappearing. I've never used that DLL. I notice that after the items jump left, they will also appear on the right side if you move your cursor over them...

Sorry I can't help. I'll play with it later if you don't get resolution...

[jackdaniels]

thanks anyway holtgrewe

[jackdaniels]

is it a bug ?

[RizlaUK]

are you changing anything in the menu at runtime....

iv used that dll once, its ok if you DO NOT change menu items, if you try and change a aspect iof a menu its it dose some funny stuff to the menu


EDIT, yup, tought so, you check the menu item "tblMenu[1].SubMenu[1].Checked = false;" wich confuses the dll and messes up the menu

[jackdaniels]

yes i am trying to get the menu item " checked "

@ RizlaUK
why dont u give a try to attached file ?

in actuality, it confuses the menu. If you minimize the app, then restore it, the menu is drawn properly again. There is something going on in the redraw that is showing the items to the left, when they are truly on the right.

[RizlaUK]

i did, but i dident really need to

i had this problem with this dll well over a year ago, took me ages to figure out what was going wrong, you can not change anything in the menu, no set items, no check items, no enable items etc, etc etc.

i even tried checking a menu item and call the dll again but it just crashed the app

why dont you just make a menu.

EDIT:

There is something going on in the redraw that is showing the items to the left, when they are truly on the right.

yeah......something like that, lol, what happens if page redraw is set to false, menu works but no objects, right ?

this dll is good for small simple menus that do not need interaction with, the moment you change a item it all goes pear shaped

although, it would be nice to right align menu items from within ams as default

[Worm]

Put this at the end of your On Menu Event

--align the menus
RightAlignMenuItem(nNumItems);

--force AMS to update window
Window.SetMask(Application.GetWndHandle(), "", true, 0);

omg, worm i could kiss ya, no really, i have tried to get this to work for so many projects and just gave up, i tried with all sorts of redrawing but nada!

im sure i posted about this when i encounted it, i dont remember what the reply was, guess good things come to those that wait...lol
