Menu disable in Xojo 2024r1

General
1

I openned one of my project in Xojo 2024r1 and all my submenus in my menus “File” - “Edit” - “Options” - “Help” were disabled. It worked fine in previous Xojo version.
I had to create them again (“File” - “Edit” - “Options” - “Help”) and I moved inside them all my submenus “New game…” - “Create combination” and the other. My application worked again as expected.
I save my project as “Xojo XML Project” (instead of “Xojo Binary Project” which the default for all my projects) and I compared it to the previous project.
I see that the lines 0/1 were set to 0 in the project which didn’t work and 1 to the project I corrected. But in Xojo, there is no way to change that.
How did I put this value to 0???

  <ItemSpecialMenu>0</ItemSpecialMenu>
  <ItemName>Fichier</ItemName>
  <ItemText>#Menu_Fichier</ItemText>
  <ItemIndex>-2147483648</ItemIndex>
  <ItemShortcut></ItemShortcut>
  <MenuAutoEnable>0</MenuAutoEnable>
  <TextEncoding>134217984</TextEncoding>
  <MenuItemVisible>1</MenuItemVisible>
  <ItemFlags>0</ItemFlags>
  <Superclass>DesktopMenuItem</Superclass>

I have had this problem also and I resolved it by adding :

MenuFile.Enabled = true
MenuEdit.Enabled = true
//etc... for each of my menus

in the Event Handler “MenuBarSelected”
But I don’t know if it is the better solution.

Exactly as I did.
I don’t think there’s a better way, since there seems to be a new bug in the framework.

I don’t think it’s the framework. Xojo should save (and or read) 1 if it is a menu as we can’t change it and it is supposed to be MenuAutoEnable 1 /MenuAutoEnable .

I guess it may be broken. Xojo seems breaking the menus (I don’t now how and why) and fixing partially every iteration.

This one was “fixed” in 2024r1: https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/75180

This one will come “fixed” in r2: https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/75955

Not sure what still broken, but a sample and steps to reproduce should be put on an Issue Report for inspection.
