I have three items in my main menu: File, View, Help.
Sometimes "Help" dissapears, and sometimes both "View" and "Help" dissapears.
I can get them back by undocking the menu, they are shown directly then, from the main window.

I do not have support for customization in my app (they three menu alternatives should alway be visible, there are no option to hide them).
I’m using file serialization for the prof uis state, each user have it’s own appearence (prof-uis state file) that is loaded when the user logs in.

Unfortunately we failed to reproduce this with our samples. Could you tell us what the steps should be followed to reproduce the problem?

It only happen sometimes. It may have to do with that I have added resources during the development that is not part of the previously saved state.

I have the same problem when I switch my application from full screen to normal view, in fullscreen mode menubar is hided.

Then we dont have the same problem. For me, the menubar is visible, it’s just some of the menu items that are hidden.
And they are visible again if I undock the menubar (drag it out ) from the main window.

Yes, is my situation, when I switch from fullscreen to normal view, somtimes only some item of menu are hided and not entire menubar.

We reproduced the problem. To fix it, please update the source code of CExtToolControlBar::WindowProc():

LRESULT CExtToolControlBar::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    if( message == WM_TIMER && wParam == 0x444 )
    {
        if(     CExtPopupMenuWnd::IsMenuTracking()
            ||  g_bMenuTracking
            ||  _DraggingGetBar() != NULL
            )
            return 0;
        KillTimer( 0x444 );
        CFrameWnd * pFrame = GetParentFrame();
        if( pFrame != NULL )
        {
            ASSERT_VALID( pFrame );
            pFrame->RecalcLayout();
            if( pFrame->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CMiniDockFrameWnd)) )
                pFrame->SendMessage( WM_NCPAINT );
        }
        return 0;
    }
    if( message == WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED )
    {
        _RecalcPositionsImpl();
#if (!defined __EXT_MFC_NO_CUSTOMIZE)
        CExtCustomizeSite * pSite = GetCustomizeSite();
        if( pSite != NULL && pSite->IsCustomizeMode() )
            pSite->ActiveItemSet();
#endif
    }
    switch( message )
    {
    case WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED:
    case WM_SIZE:
        _RedrawOnPosChanged();
        break;
    }
    return CExtControlBar::WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
}

I have a suggestion. How about a "Snippets" forum where you can post items such as this so it would be easier to find and we can all benefit from the changes?
