Hi,

Ok, I understand this a bit better now, but one thing still
confuses me. How does it know that the Menubar group is a Menubar
group and not some other group with button in it?


Any group that contains at least a button the style of which is
"pulldown" is considered by Rev as a 'possible' menu bar.


I understand I can create as many Menubars as are needed and hide/
show them etc. But how does it know which one to use? What if there
is more than one visible Menubar?


Rev does not mind which menu bar to use on Windows:
It's up to you to manage this and to show one menu bar only at a
time :-)
On Win, the menu bar is a group of Rev buttons and as any other
control, you can show or hide it.
As a menubar group is opaque, it depends also on the layering.

I'm sorry, but I guess my lack of experience with Windows (and lack of access to a Windows machine) leaves me stupid about this, so I'm going to beat the dead horse again.

With Windows, the menubar appears at the top of the window not at the top of the screen as with the Mac, I get this -- but it still appears above the content pane (the rect) of the window, as part of the "frame", not as part of the content pane. Any group of buttons I make for a menu will appear (in the IDE) somewhere in the rect of my stack. In OSX you "set the menubar to" the intended group, and it gets moved out of the rect of the window up to the top of the screen.

How does Windows know which button group to move from the window rect up to the frame of the window? (I don't want a bunch of buttons just inside the top of the window rect, I want the usual Windows menu placement.) Does it choose whatever button group is visible, as long as it contains at least one "pulldown" style button? Does the group have to be at the top of the stack window? Do you have to specify in the Standalone Builder somewhere in the Windows preferences which button group to use as the menu for the window? In short, how do it know, in Windows??? Please would someone explain, in small words.
