>Thanks for the information. I generated a menu based on the Quick Menu option on the Menu bar, and the resulting menu does add the open windows to the bar. Wow! There must be some code in the Quick-Menu that dynamically adds the open windows to the menu bar, though, because when I added _msm_windo to my own menu as a Window bar, nothing happens. In order to incorporate the dynamic alteration logic, do you need to start with a Quick Menu and add your own custom bars? If so, adding this feature will be time consuming, as I've got a pretty hefty menu developed already. Comments?

Hi Chris,

For some options, such as copying to the clipboard, there's no choice but to include the Edit menu. The holds true here. I just tested this on one of my own projects, and the Window menu (having all the original options except Command Windows and Data Session) worked perfectly.

The alternative is to programmatically add the bars when each form is created, and release them when the form is closed. Further the bars would have to reference code to bring the selected window to the front. Considering the complexities of this, my view is to "take what's given me". Further, inserting the proper pad, and so forth isn't all that much work by comparison. However, I do speak for myself here. I have a single menu which is used by all my applications.
