I’m sure some people love the "automatic hide menu items you haven’t used recently" feature, but it personally drives me insane. I always want every menu visible when clicking on the main app’s menu bar. Is there a flag or something to set so it never squashes my menus down? I don’t know what verbiage everyone is using to describe these terms so this problem may have been asked and answered already.

Please invoke the following code at your application startup:

    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuExpanding = false;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuHighlightRarely = false;
That seems to be what you are asking about.

Perfect. Thanks! I found one of them but not the other...

The CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuExpanding flag indicates whether the menu expanding is enabled. The CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_bMenuHighlightRarely indicates whether the rarely used items have the alternative style not depending on the first flag.

I’m not quite used to this strange BBS you guys are running.
