Problem with MENU's

[Patrick Mast]

Hello,

In METHOD Command() in CLASS TMenu there is a function ::GetMenuItem( nCommand ) to retreive oMenuItem.

Now, somethimes, when a user works for a while with my application, the menu's don't fire anything anymore. The menu's SHOW, I can see them, but the ACTION is not executed anymore.

I have found out this is because after some time, ::GetMenuItem( nCommand ) starts returning NIL. And when omenuItem = NIL, nothing is executed.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Patrick,

I have noticed a similar problem.

In my application, the user is able to change his own menu.

After the menu has been changed by the user, this code is executed :

Code: Select all  Expand view

oWnd:SetMenu(oMenu)

If this is executed several times (somewhat between 15 and 20 times), the menus don't react anymore. Indeed the menu can be opened but the action is not executed.

The application has to be restarted and then everything is normal again.

Maybe it has something to do with SetMenu() ?

Patrick,

Please modify Method GetMenuItem() this way, so we can check what nItemId value fails:

METHOD GetMenuItem( nItemId ) BLOCK { | o | o := SearchItem( ::aItems, nItemId ), If( o == nil, MsgAlert( "MENUITEM " + Str( nItemId ) + " fails" ), ), o }

METHOD GetMenuItem( nItemId ) BLOCK { | o | o := SearchItem( ::aItems, nItemId ), If( o == nil, MsgAlert( "MENUITEM " + Str( nItemId ) + " fails" ), ), o }

Ok, done.

What do we know when we know what nItenID fails?

Hmm, we can't do it that way. Now cklicking on a menu always shows the MsgAlert().

We need some info about that situation, as a start we will know what nItemId value is searched for.

The MsgAlert() should be shown only if the menuitem is nil (not found).
