I just noticed a strange glitch in a program I have been updating for over a
month.
I was working on the Menu Bar items today and noticed that the underscore to
indicate a hot key was not visible on any of the menu or the drop down menu
in runtime environment but look correct in design view.
However the underscores on the buttons on the midi screen show as they
should.
The hot keys on the menu still work (i.e. Hitting Alt F will open the
dropdown menu for item 'File'). Also when I hit Alt all of the menu hot key
underscores become visible.
I am pretty new to Vb so I hope I am explaining myself correctly.
Could I have accidentally changed something in the compile setup, or is
there a number limitation to how many hot keys you can have?
All suggestions gratefully accepted.

What's your OS? XP?
This is a "feature" M$ has added to the OS. If you use just the mouse they
don't appear, but if you use keystrokes they show up.
I don't know if there is some Windows option to override this or not. But it
isn't the fault of your program, and AFAIK there is nothing you can do in VB
to change it. (Perhaps SendKeys to yourself? <g>) I just ignore it.

Yes there is, in XP. Here is the sequence:
Desktop. Right Click. Properties. Display Properties dialog is shown.
Appearance Tab. Effects... button. Effects dialog is displayed.
Last check box on form reads:
Hid underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key
Uncheck to show menu underlines at all times.
Click Ok. Click Ok.

Hi, sorry have not responded sooner but have been out of town.
I am running Win2000Pro but with the aid of the key phrase you gave me (Hide
underlined letters) I found how to do it on Win2000.
Many, many thanks for your reply.

Hi, sorry have not responded sooner but have been out of town.
After your reply I paid attention to other programs I ran.
Some of them had the underscore show and some didn't (go figure).
At least I know its not my coding.
Thanks ever so much.

Hi,
I have found some menu functions. It works quite well, but how can I
replace it with a simple <a href> if javascript is turned off?
I reduced my code to:
<script>IncludeMenuHere()</script>
More, any tips about "fading" the menu item in and out (x-browser)?
Currently it's using DIVs and this.items.visibility(false);

Hello -
I have a book that illustrates pulling menu items from a Sql Server table
into an ascx via a stored procedure. Is this something that is done in the
real world?
I do like the effect when viewing it in the source code, however, because it
doesn't show the complete path to the file. (I'm talking about Internet
Explorer click View, click source code.)

Hi,
I have a list box with a context menu. When I right click the menu
appears as expected. However when I select an option on the context
menu the menu does not close. The click event on the menu is fired but
the menu remains.
Is there anyway I can get this menu to close when I select a menu
option?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
