There is a main window and a main menu, when a particular menu selection is made, another window (not a clone of the first) opens. This window has a different menubar assigned to it. The strange behaviour is the when the 2nd window opens and the alternate menubar appears, one of the top menu items is already selected?
Any idea what would cause that? It doesn’t “open” the menu, it just highlights it name in the top bar… If I click anywhere in the window, it unhighlights back to what it should have been
Nobody has any idea why the menu has a preselected item when the window opens?
I can’t even find any thing that I could be in the Window Open/Activate event to “reset” the menu event
There is a submenu under the the 3rd position (but NOT called VIEW) on mainmenubar that opens this second window
the second window has its own menu with this “VIEW” in the 3rd position but with totally different sub menus, as well as menus to the RIGHT of view
You might open the second window initially disabled and then enable it afterwards.
Or on activate, set the focus deliberately to one input control, and away from the menu.

yup… been there done that… tried dozens of combinations of similar things…
doing a SETFOCUS to anything seems to have zip affect
Uhh… how would you “pen the second window initially disabled and then enable it afterwards”
Windows do not have an “enabled” attribute
