Another flaky idea?
« Thread started on: Sep 17th, 2016, 9:35pm » |

Alyce wrote the following code to remove file and edit menus from a text window.
I am only responsible for the menu statement that turns the menu bar into column headings for a report that are always visible, regardless of scrolling.
Is this useful to anyone else?
r.m.
Code:
menu #rpt, " Category Cost Date Description Period Remarks" , "", [x]
Open "Diary Report by " + seq$ for text_fs as #rpt
hMain=hWnd(#rpt)
hMainMenu=GetMenu(hMain)
hMainEdit=GetSubMenu(hMainMenu,1)
result=RemoveMenu(hMainMenu,hMainEdit)
Call DrawMenuBar hWnd(#rpt)
hMainEdit=GetSubMenu(hMainMenu,1)
result=RemoveMenu(hMainMenu,hMainEdit)
Call DrawMenuBar hWnd(#rpt)
return
Sub DrawMenuBar hWnd
CallDLL #user32, "DrawMenuBar",_
hWnd As ulong, r As boolean
End Sub
Function GetSubMenu(hMenuBar,nPos)
CallDLL #user32, "GetSubMenu",_
hMenuBar As ulong, nPos As long,_
GetSubMenu As ulong
End Function
Function GetMenu(hWnd)
CallDLL #user32, "GetMenu",hWnd As ulong,_
GetMenu As ulong
End Function
Function RemoveMenu(hMenu,hSubMenu)
CallDLL #user32, "RemoveMenu", hMenu As ulong,_
hSubMenu As ulong, _MF_BYCOMMAND As ulong,_
RemoveMenu As boolean
End Function

But, File Edit is still appearing at the right end after Remarks.

I don't know what you are doing, but I just ran my program again, and File and Edit do NOT appear anywhere on my menu bar.

I think the idea is ingenious and has many ways to be useful. I've cleaned up the code example a bit for (hopefully) easier testing.
Code:NoMainWin
WindowWidth=800 : WindowHeight=600
menu #rpt, "Category Cost Date_
Description Period Remarks"
Open "Menu Report Headings " for text as #rpt
#rpt "!TrapClose [quit]"
hMain=hWnd(#rpt)
hMainMenu=GetMenu(hMain)
hMainEdit=GetSubMenu(hMainMenu,1)
result=RemoveMenu(hMainMenu,hMainEdit)
Call DrawMenuBar hWnd(#rpt)
hMainEdit=GetSubMenu(hMainMenu,1)
result=RemoveMenu(hMainMenu,hMainEdit)
Call DrawMenuBar hWnd(#rpt)
Wait
[quit]
close #rpt
end
Sub DrawMenuBar hWnd
CallDLL #user32, "DrawMenuBar",_
hWnd As ulong, r As boolean
End Sub
Function GetSubMenu(hMenuBar,nPos)
CallDLL #user32, "GetSubMenu",_
hMenuBar As ulong, nPos As long,_
GetSubMenu As ulong
End Function
Function GetMenu(hWnd)
CallDLL #user32, "GetMenu",hWnd As ulong,_
GetMenu As ulong
End Function
Function RemoveMenu(hMenu,hSubMenu)
CallDLL #user32, "RemoveMenu", hMenu As ulong,_
hSubMenu As ulong, _MF_BYCOMMAND As ulong,_
RemoveMenu As boolean
End Function

If you want to remove all the menus (and the menu bar itself) then the method I showed before is easy. But if you want to selectively remove menus and retain the menu bar you can use Alyce's code.

@Jack Kelly: I don't think you can put _ continuation character within quoted strings. Strangely enough this works in LBB but it doesn't work in LB.
I must have tested your code with LB instead of LBB. In LB File Edit keeps coming on the right but in LBB it is not coming. I don't know the reason for this difference.
However, _ in the middle of unclosed quotes is quite unorthodox.
