Hello,

I am experiencing a weird behavior (under X11 mode). The menu has an additional Search ctrl that I haven't coded.
See picture:
index.php?t=getfile&id=5792&private=0

This is the code 

void VegaMain::VegaMainMenu(Bar& menu)
{
	menu.Add(t_("File"), THISBACK(File) ).Key(K_CTRL_F);
	menu.Add(t_("Standing"), THISBACK(Standing) ).Key(K_CTRL_X);  
	menu.Add(t_("Extras"), THISBACK(Extras) ).Key(K_CTRL_X);  
	menu.Add(t_("Rating Report"), THISBACK(ReportCB) ).Key(K_CTRL_R);  
	menu.Add(t_("Help"), THISBACK(Help) ).Key(K_CTRL_H);  
}

//....
// and then
//....
void VegaMain::Help(Bar& bar)
{
	bar.Add(t_("Content"), THISBACK(HelpContent));
	bar.Separator();
#ifndef PLATFORM_LINUX 
 	bar.Add(t_("Register ..."), THISBACK(HelpRegister));
 	bar.Add(t_("Registered to ..."), THISBACK(HelpRegistered));
	bar.Separator();
#endif
	bar.Add(t_("Check Update"), THISBACK(CheckUpdate));
	bar.Separator();
	bar.Add(t_("About"), THISBACK(HelpAbout));
}


Moreover all the items do not work, i.e. they do not perform any action.

The same code works OK under Windows and Linux.
Thanks,
Luigi

Why do you think this is X11 mode?

Anyway, that search field is added by macos. We are not yet sure what are exact circumstances.

If I use

menu.Add(t_("Help "), THISBACK(Help) ).Key(K_CTRL_H);

and then not use the "Help" word then the search ctrl disappear and the whole dropline works as expected. There is some collision with cocoa.

It doesn't work in my case. I'm still getting the search bar.
My code (it looks fine to me):
void wnb3::SetMenuBar()
{
#ifdef PLATFORM_COCOA
 SetMainMenu(THISBACK(main_menu));
 menubar.Hide();
#else
 menubar.Set(THISBACK(main_menu));
#endif
}

Full recompilation. TheIDE itself was compiled a moth ago.

Regards,
Novo

I couldn't compile because of GUI:
dword SystemDraw::GetInfo() const
{
	return DRAWTEXTLINES|GUI;
}

For now, please just delete "|GUI".
