Excellent code!  Easy to use.  One 
thing is when you dont use complex 
checks, and you select one of the 
checked menu's it will dim the check.

Does this support scrolling menus? 
ex.)IE Fav menu bar and Win98 start 
menu. Great code!

I'm not sure I see what scrolling menus 
look like.
To siph0n: selecting a 
checked item IS suppose to "dim" the 
check mark background. Actually, 
Microsoft product use a special pattern 
for "normal" and the "dim" is the same. 
 Maybe some other time

this is a really really great piece of 
work... i'm not bashing anyone's code 
but vbAccelerator's code is so complex 
to follow, this one is neat and clean 
and very well commented to show a 
newbie how it works... but i was 
wondering if at possible that this 
could be put into a activex control 
with the imagelist compatiblity 
built-in... so leaving the MS ImageList 
out of the picture completely...?Please 
keep up the great work!

Thank you vbDude.  I think the way it 
is now is the simpliest interface 
possible.  Making it an activeX would 
just include the ImageList in it and 
instead of putting the control on the 
form, you would have to make a 
reference to the activeX anyway.  I 
don't see the interest but your free to 
do it for your self. I always prefer 
inluding re-usable source code then 
activeX in my projects when possible.

Thats me again: I've an idea, but I 
don't know how to do it: how to make a 
"personalized menu" like from Office 
2000 or Windows 2000 (sorry for my

Ridiculously easy to add to an existing

i haven't checked, but did you fix the 
bug where when you click a menu, it 
drops down, then you move the mouse off 
of the top menu and the menu rect goes 
away when it should stay.. i don't feel 
like downloading and checking it

Keep the Planet clean! If this comment was disrespectful, please report it:

No it's not fixed. All Win98 users have 
this problem since the very first 
version but I'm working with W95 and 
noticed the bug after this release.  
Won't be able to work on the fix for a 
while, sorry

Hi VBDude,
The code at vbAccelerator 
is complex because it is a site for 
advanced visual basic source code.  I 
think that the menu stuff written by 
Steve is excellent (I am not saying 
that this is not good) and the source 
code can be downloaded from the site 
(maybe in a different project though).

Keep the Planet clean! If this comment was disrespectful, please report it:

This code is AMAZING! One minor bug 
though: When you change the menu 
caption, the caption comes out as a 
load of garbage, and the menu icon 
dissapears.
I have a main menu 
called 'mnuFile', and a submenu called 
'mnuSave', the caption of mnuSave is 
'&Save...' and has an icon (standard 
Save icon).
When I click 'mnuFile' I 
have some code to determine if the 
thing can be saved or not. If it can, 
then it enables mnuSave (which works 
fine), it also changes the caption to 
'&Save [Another string]'. The Another 
String is just a filename.
When the 
caption is changed, the caption is 
garbage (something like wingdings), and 
the icon disappears. When you move the 
move the curser over the menu 
(mnuSave), then it will chage the 
caption successfully, but not include 
an icon.
Please help, I am sure is 
it only small :)
Thanks for some 
really great code.

Hi,
When I was using an example in 
MDI forms, a bug occurs in maximization 
of child form, like this:
1) some 
captions of menu disappeared; 2) icons 
standard (Windows) were replace by 
another from the program.
Can you 
elucidate this?
Thanks.

i'm having a bit of trouble using your

have it, except for one change:  the 
name of my imagelist.  when i run the 
program, i get plenty of errors in the 
debug window, and the menus aren't even 
there.  if you have some info about 
this, please email it to me.  if you'd 
like, i could zip up an example and 
send it to you.

Excellent code - easy to implement - 
one prob.  7 of these " 91 Object 
variable or With block variable not set 
WindowProc" every time I close the app. 
 I have it working fine on another form 
but can't shake these error messages on 
one form.  Depending on how you close 
your run time - it may take VB down 
with it when it closes.

Eddie, the property you're talking 
about are the module's property.  They 
should not be added to the code.  If 
you remove all the extra at the 
beginning of each module, you'll be 
able to run compile them.

I have a fix for the VB End Command - 
If you have an MDI form, put this code 
in the unload event:
For T = 1 To 
Forms.Count - 1
    Unload 
Form(T)
Next T
That code unloads 
the child forms, and then the MDI form 
unloads. When all of the forms are 
unloaded, the program exits normally, 
and VB does not crash. (Unless you 
don't uninstall the subclass; then it 
might crash.)

Keep the Planet clean! If this comment was disrespectful, please report it:
Reason:
 

I like your code very much. I applaud 
you. I have found a bug. The calling 
sequence is this. The form calls 
"popupmenu" and then these methods get 
called in your 
code:
popupmenu-->WindowProc-->OnInitMe
nuPopup-->ConvertMenu-->BSTRtoLPSTR-->Co
pyMemory B(1), ByVal lpsz, cBytes + 
2
The line of code above calling 
"CopyMem" GPFs. In sum when you call 
your code using popupmenu, a GPF 
happens, but not everytime. CopyMem 
blows up, so it's a pretty serious 
crash. I would be happy to send you a 
small sample app's source so that you 
can reproduce the behavior. I've tested 
on NT4(sp6) and win98. I'm sorry to 
report a bug in what is really terrific 
API programming, but I honestly don't 
know how to fix it, even though I've 
tried for a few weeks. There are real 
world scenarios where this will be a 
problem. TIA

Keep the Planet clean! If this comment was disrespectful, please report it:
Reason:
 

That's a big problem but could be easy 
to fix.  I don't remember in what kind 
of conditions it happens, but the 
memory area where the data is copied 
from is not always text.  That's why 
you're CoolMenu crashes.  Could you 
send a screenshot of the menu 
(subclassed if you can, or in the IDE) 
to my e-mail.
