Windows 7 Start Bar - again

Targets Windows
1

I am having the same issue as was reference in this post,

https://forum.xojo.com/2868-windows-start-bar-and-xojo

where the Windows 7 start bar disappears except for the start button. My issue is that I am launching new windows from a menu style screen and I only experience this behavior about half the time. For some Windows I open I see the whole bar, for others just the START button.

I see some reference to setting the Window.MenuBarIsVisible to True, but where exactly is that done?

thanks.

in the properties section of the Window I created a Boolean property called MenuBarVisible (yes I also checked MenuBarVisible on the

In the Open Event of the Window I set the MenuBarVisible property = true

But I still keep getting the same result - No Windows Menu Bar - uggh so frustrating. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

I am not going to laugh. This looks like a nice project. The issue is that it is far too complex to figure at first glance where is the issue you describe.

What is the window where the menu bar is missing ?

I’m not sure why you created a new property (which won’t do anything), but it looks to me like you need to instead set the MenuBarVisible property to True in your Open event handler. So in WinShopStat, remove the code you added to the Open event handler and put this instead:

Self.MenuBarVisible = True

You can also remove the MenuBarIsVisible property you added as well.

That’s it :slight_smile:
