Test if menu is visible?

[ChrisBurrows]

Unfortunately, I need my application to run while it is resizing. I have an edit box that resizes to whatever size the window is, and if "Run while resizing" is unchecked, then it doesn't resize until after you stop resizing the window and it looks ugly. Thank you for your help though.

I guess MMF just isn't the program to create what I am trying to make.

I must be missing something. I made a simple active and gave it a tooltip when the mouse is over it. I checked "Run while resizing" and "Run when Minimized" and I don't see the tooltip when the menu is open.

[ChrisBurrows]

Are you using the tooltip object?

Here is my mfa. If the could check it out that would be amazing.

It's slightly fudgey, but this should work...

It will detect menu open if the window is being dragged or resized too, but that shouldn't be an issue as you wouldn't want to display tooltips then anyway.

I hope it helps

MenuOpen.mfa

Sorry, I'm having some trouble finding that extension.

Winmesspro.mfx?

I looked at your app Chris, and the same exact events I had in my blank app, still show the tooltips in yours. I think it has to do with the cursor object, but I haven't narrowed it down yet.

Edit: WinMessPro Extension

For reference Chris, it is the Window Message Object Pro extension. Check out:

This will let you download and manage extensions, including this one.

Thanks Simon and Stephen.

Your example is great, but when I copy the events into my app they it doesn't work. The object doesn't even flash. I'll let you know if I find out why.

EDIT: My mistake. I didn't have -1637700 in global value B.

But it would still be interesting to know why, Stephen, your events don't work in my app.

I just realised an even bigger and much more serious problem that this solves!

Not only were the tooltips coming up when they shouldn't, but if the user clicked a menu option and a button was underneath, the button would be clicked.

All working now. Thanks everybody.

Btw Stephen, why -1637700?

Btw Stephen, why -1637700?

Was that in Simon's example?
