How To Use Menu On Main Form PART #2

[drosenkranz]

My main form is run as a top level form- modeless. I have added the line "SET SYSMENU AUTOMATIC" to my program but to no avail. My menu was created entirely using the designer and the preview looks ok.

1) Why won't my menu display on my form?

2) How do you produce the "dividing lines" between the items in each leg of the menu?

Thanks for the help and have a great New Year

1) Make sure you check the Top Level Form option under View -> General Options ... when you have the menu designer open.

2) In a SubMenu, type \- in for the Prompt, and choose Bar # for the Result.

Hi,

If you want to add a menu to a form iso using the menu in the main VFP form you should do the follwing:

F.i. your generated menu file is called:

mymenu.mpr

Place in the Init() event of the form the following:

LOCAL llRetVal

llRetVal = DODEFAULT()

IF llRetval
DO mymenu.mpr WITH THIS
ENDIF

RETURN llRetVal
