How to detect if the application menu is open?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I need a way to tell whether the Application Menu of a Fusion app is currently open. Surely there must be a method for this, but there doesn't seem to be a native condition for it. Does anyone know of how to achieve this?

    So, my application has various interface elements, such as this button:

    The problem is that these interface elements continue to work when the Application Menu is being used. So, if I move the mouse over the menu item View>Wheel and click, it will select the button that is underneath that menu item:

    I need some way to detect whether the menu is open so that I can pause various bits of code while it's open. Incidentally, I tried using the Advanced Menu Object instead of the native Application Menu, but I ran into the same problem there. The Advanced Menu Object lets you detect whether a particular item has just been rolled over, but there seems no way to detect when you have rolled off it, or when the menu has closed.

  • OK, I think I got to the bottom of it. I had run while resizing enabled. Disabling it makes the rest of the code pause automatically while the menu is open.
