Menu accelerators - changed behavior

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

In the following sample try to press ALT-T and then T. Previously it just moved the hilite bar cyclically through the two menuitem. Now it just activates the first one. Is it possible to go back to the previous behavior?

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oWnd, oMenu

    MENU oMenu
        MENUITEM "&Test"

        MENU
            MENUITEM "&Test1";
                     ACTION MSGINFO( "Test1" )
            MENUITEM "&Test2";
                     ACTION MSGINFO( "Test2" )
        ENDMENU
    ENDMENU

    DEFINE WINDOW oWnd;
           MENU oMenu

    ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd

    RETURN NIL

Enrico,

We have not modified anything there.

In fact those are default Windows behaviors, unless there is some kind of conflict.

[Antonio Linares]

Enrico,

In Vista the first Alt+T opens the pulldown menu, then pressing T again fires the first menuitem action

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

But in some earlier FWH version it worked differently...

Enrico,

With XP I get the same behavior. Going to try with Win98...

[Antonio Linares]

Enrico,

Win98 behaves exactly as you describes, moving from one menuitem to another without firing the action

But XP and Vista execute the action

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

But I had W98 behavior under XP using some earlier FWH version.

But it's not so important, don't worry.
