Summary:
There is an inconsistency with the Click events of cascading menus in
Visual Basic. This problem occurs when hidden menus are displayed.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
More Information:
If you design menus with cascading menus, you can process the Click
event for the menu selection that cascades another submenu.
Conversely, if you initially design the menu so that the menu
Visible property is set to False, you will not always be able to
process the Click event for that menu selection that cascades another
menu.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From the menu design dialog box of Visual Basic (VB.EXE), create
the following menu:
Caption CtlName Level Visible
------- ------- ----- -------
A MID_A 1 True
1 MID_ONE 2
Cascade 1 CASCADE1 3
B MID_B 1 FALSE
2 MID_TWO 2
Cascade 2 CASCADE2 3
2. Create the following controls:
Control CtlName
------- -------
Command button Command1
Command button Command2
3. Add the following code to your program in the appropriate place:
Sub Command1_Click ()
MID_A.Visible = -1
MID_B.Visible = 0
End Sub
Sub Command2_Click ()
MID_A.Visible = 0
MID_B.Visible = -1
End Sub
Sub MID_TWO_Click ()
Print "Cascade 2"
End Sub
Sub MID_ONE_Click ()
Print "Cascade 1"
End Sub
4. Run the program.
5. Click on the "A" menu, then click on the "1" menu. Notice that
"Cascade 1" is printed to the form. (You may have to do this twice
because the menu overlaps the display and erases most of it the
fist time).
6. Click on Command2; this will hide the "A" menu and show the "B"
menu. Click on the "B" menu, then click on the "2" menu. Notice
the "Cascade 2" does not print to the screen as it did in step 5
above.
