Quote: I set the buttons grouped to do that cute 'indent' thing What are you talking about? Quote: Is it possible the messages aren't being sent to TmainMenu object which probably is what sends the messages to the submenus? Why are you still trying to use TMainMenu? I already stated earlier that it does not support what you are asking for. Gambit Back to top OBones Guest Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 7:44 am    Post subject: Re: BCB 5.0 Main Menu in a Toolbar?

Well, the thing is that to make this work you have to create popup menus that you assign to the buttons. The way it's done in V6 ToolBar is to create a temporary PopupMenu when the button is pressed, then assign it to the ToolButton. The TJvToolbar does this as well, in a similar way.

Don't use TMainMenu for that. Use separate TPopupMenu instances instead. Gambit Back to top Nathaniel L.

Maintaining compatibility with such an old version of the VCL would mean that a lot of functionnalities are lost and a coding overhead for which we don't have the resources.
