No, it doesn't <s>...


HIDE MENU doesn't work. DEACTIVATE MENU does, but it's flaky (menus will pop up if you press ALT or F10 keys, they'll pop up after you activate a modal dialog).

This has been driving me nuts... I finally gave up on using menus for duplicating the ABar menus becuse of this.

THere are several ways to handle Activabar menus right. One I posted on teh ActiveBar newsgroup last week is to use OKL's to handle all the shortcuts. I created an object that wraps all the hotkeys and makes this relatively painless. The object activates/deactivates teh hotkeys in the form's activate/deactivate events.

The other is to do key translations from VFP Form::Keypress. The VFP key codes aren't the same as VB keycodes and this is why you can't simply capture keystrokes and pass them forward. It works, but it still sucks because Form FormKeypress doesnt' capture all keys (Alt-keys in particular).


This is supposed get fixed in ActiveBar 2.0...
