Hi,

I have a form with a button to cycle the machine. The form also contains some custom menu buttons created from Menu Editor. Each time the cycle machine routine do a lot of stuffs such as timer count down, control a motor, read data, etc. Meanwhile, even though I set the menu buttons to be disabled, when clicking on anyone button, the cycle machine routine stops (actually more like a pause). When I click anywhere on the form again, it continues working.

Why is that? How come I disable the menu buttons and they still border the program? What can I do?

P.S. I do not want to set all menu buttons to be invisible because the menu bar will be gone, too and the whole form will shift up the position. Please help.
