Pressing ENTER in Pop-Up Menu Causes Erratic BehaviorLast reviewed: May 15, 1997Article ID: Q114705 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you are running a 16-bit application and press ENTER when no menu item is selected in a pop-up menu, random program responses occur.
CAUSEWhen this happens a WM_COMMAND message with an uninitialized value in the wParam is posted, causing random menu commands to be executed. Expected behavior is that if no menu item is selected, wParam should be set to 0.
RESOLUTIONThis has been corrected so that when you press ENTER when no menu item is selected, the same behavior will occur as if you had pressed ESCAPE. In this case, Windows NT does not post a WM_COMMAND.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
