Description

After experimenting with bars I have found one important problem. Item highlight dose not lose highlight when mouse leave bar area.

P.S. 1
Only last element (youngest child) in bar hierarchy should lose item focus.

History

What is strange here is that bar is losing highlight for items that creates another bars (characteristic items with arrow on the right-side).

I have found simply solution for this issue (you will probably find better and more elegant :) ):

Code (CtrlLib/MenuItem.cpp):

void MenuItem::MouseLeave()
{
        // Added if + Refresh
    if(HasFocus() && GetParent())
        GetParent()->SetFocus();
    Refresh();
    ClearHelpLine();
}

I would like to notice that this soultion can lead to unnecessary refresh when changing menu items. This should be only activate when mouse leave window (bar) area. But, I can be wrong (I don't know the bar family implementation).

Refresh is not needed:

void MenuItem::MouseLeave()
{
    // Added if + Refresh
    if(HasFocus() && GetParent())
        GetParent()->SetFocus();
    ClearHelpLine();
}
