Menus Missing

Targets macOS
1

Recently the project I am working on stopped showing the menus when the Application is launched.
I am wondering what I might have accidentally changed to make this happen as I am pretty sure it isn’t a bug.
Menus is set to the Menu I have had in place since the beginning,
Document Window,
Placement Default,

The menus reappear when I call other windows in the program??

Suggestions?

2

Is the window where the menu does not appear set to “full screen”?

3

In the Advanced tab of the Inspector for the window do you have MenuBarVisible set to OFF?

Nice pickup Julian and Paul, it was set to off :slight_smile:
Which begs the question if it is deprecated IDE feature do we have to set this in code in future releases?

Thanks again

Why do you think it’s deprecated?

7

Because Xojo Inc. labeled it this way? (see above Screenshot) :wink:

Just because it’s in the Advanced tab, doesn’t mean it’s deprecated. Things appear on the Advanced tab when we believe it’s a seldom used or a set-and-forget option.

The title above it says: “Deprecated”

10

Please check the Screenshot:

It clearly states Deprecated right above this Option (Between arrows 3 and 4).

I do not have that on Xojo 2018r2 / Mac OS El Capitan.

Thank you for taking a look, because i could not verify for myself if this is still valid for current Xojo releases. thumbsup :smiley:

@Emile Schwarz: where are your eyes? The “deprecated” is even in the latest version of things to come.

15

I took your Screenshot @Beatrix Willius and created a FR: <https://xojo.com/issue/53388>. I hope this was ok. :slight_smile:

16

Sure.

Is that option related to Page Not Found — Xojo documentation ?

Notes Mac: When True, the Dock and main menu bar are hidden when your app is frontmost. Windows: When True, the taskbar (including "Start" button) is hidden, regardless of whether your app is frontmost. Linux Mint: When True, the window menu bar is hidden (other distributions may have different behavior).

I think True should be False here.

And for people new to programming, having True/False in the docs, but OFF/ON in Xojo is confusing.

18

That’s what I get for only looking at the current release version.

19

The current release version say ‘Deprecated’:

The current version is 2018r2 and this is what I said earlier (MacOS El Capitan).

Now if you are on Linux or Windows
