Summary:
PROBLEM ID: QCW9112003
SYMPTOMS
When using the Microsoft QuickC for Windows Compiler (QC/Win)
version 1.0 and using the QuickCase:W (QCase:W) utility,
generating a menu item separator for a top level menu item will
link a drop-down menu to that separator.
When clicking the menu separator while in the QCase:W environment,
a drop-down menu will appear. This menu can then be used as a
normal menu even though it is only a separator. No code, however,
will be generated for any submenus under the separator. If a menu
item is added underneath the separator, a case statement will be
generated by QCase:W. However, it will never be reached because the
program will not bring up a drop-down menu for the separator.
RESOLUTION
Once the menu separator has been chosen, do not choose it from
the menus again unless changing it to a regular menu item.
Choosing it again, and choosing OK, causes the drop-down menu to
be created.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QCase:W version
1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
More Information:
To re-create the problem, enter the QCase:W environment and select a
new file. Click the user menu (that is, <<>>) and choose the
Separator option button. Press OK and a vertical separator ( | ) will
be placed on the menu bar. Click this again (twice) to bring up the
dialog box for the menu options. Press OK and a drop-down menu will be
attached to the separator bar allowing further menus to be created.
The separator menu option is used only to separate menu items, and
therefore cannot contain any links. The code generated is correct;
however, the user may think that it is all right to link more menus to
the separator.
Note: This problem also occurs on submenu separators.
