Hello,

i have a problem width the CExtPopupMenuWnd.

if i use the following code:

    CExtPopupMenuWnd* pPopup = new CExtPopupMenuWnd;
    pPopup->CreatePopupMenu(GetSafeHwnd());

    VERIFY(
        pPopup->UpdateFromMenu(
        GetSafeHwnd(),
        pMenu,
        false,
        true,
        true
        )
        );

    POINT p;
    VERIFY(GetCursorPos(&p));
    VERIFY(
        pPopup->TrackPopupMenu(
        TPMX_SELECT_ANY,
        p.x,
        p.y
        )
        );

It looks like.


My problem is the "separator width"
I use the code within a CExtNCSB <CListCtrl>.

CPrfMenuBar displayed the separators correctly:

.

Any Idea ?

Thank you very much.

Please provide us with more details:

1) Which Prof-UIS paint manager is used?

2) Which Windows desktop theme is used?

3) Whether any custom desktop DPI is set?

4) Whether any custom painting handler methods are implemented for your menus?

5) Whether any dynamic popup menu initialization handler methods are implement for your menus?

6) Whether your code occasionally changed widths of the menu’s left area via invocation of its SetLeftAreaWidth() method?

7) Whether the problem can be seen in the first level menu only?

I located the problem:

LRESULT CMainFrame::OnExtMenuPrepare( WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ){

    CExtPopupMenuWnd * pPopup;
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t * pData;
    if(wParam){
    pData =
            reinterpret_cast<CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t *>(wParam );

        ASSERT( pData != NULL );

        pPopup = pData->m_pPopup;

        ASSERT( pPopup != NULL );
    }else{
        pPopup = (CExtPopupMenuWnd *)lParam;
    }

    if(!pPopup)
        return false;

    for(int i = 0;i < pPopup->ItemGetCount(); i++){

        if(pPopup->ItemGetPopup(i)){
//This produce my problem
                pPopup->ItemSetPopupText(
                i,
                pPopup->ItemGetText(i)//normally I translate the text here.
                );
            OnExtMenuPrepare( 0, (LPARAM)pPopup->ItemGetPopup(i) );
        }else{
            pPopup->ItemSetPopupText(
                i,
                pPopup->ItemGetText(i)//normally i translate the text here.
            );
        }
    }
    return TRUE;
}

3) Whether any custom desktop DPI is set?
    No

4) Whether any custom painting handler methods are implemented for your menus?
    No

5) Whether any dynamic popup menu initialisation handler methods are implement for your menus?
    No

    pPopup->SetLeftAreaWidth(30);
    looks like




7) Whether the problem can be seen in the first level menu only?

    No

If your code if the CMainFrame::OnExtMenuPrepare() handler method modifies a popup menu, then it should set the pData->m_bMenuChanged flag to true. This will let the popup menu know that the menu layout should be completely recomputed.
