After further research I suppose what I'm asking is whether the EditMenus property for a stack can be disabled so a stack doesn't resize when it's menu bar is changed from true to false and from false to true. So that the EditMenus property has only the effect to show the menu bar and not change the Vscroll property of objects.
I'm a bit sleep-deprived today, so forgive me if I seem slow. It seems that you want:
- The menubar showing on Windows within the stack - The menus to appear in the system's menubar on Mac - The menus will not appear in the stack on Mac - The stack will not scroll on Mac
Do I have that right?
Ordinarily, here's what happens:
-------------------------- <------------ | File Edit Help | <- menu grp | |------------------------| | | | |-- stack height | (content region) | | | | | -------------------------- <-------------
The stack height includes the menubar on non-Mac systems. In apps that conform to the HIG recommendations for Windows the only thing in the menugroup region are the menus, so Rev is safe to crop that when displaying the stack on Mac OS.
If the stack is not cropped then on Mac OS you'll have the menus appearing both in the stack and in the system's menu bar; I'm fairly confident that's not what you're looking for, correct?
I'm guessing that the missing piece in the description here is that you have non-menu elements in the menu bar region -- is that correct?
If it is you can override the normal HIG-compliant behavior by simply hiding the menugroup on Mac OS, and setting the editMenus property to true:
on preOpenStack
if the platform is "MacOS" then
hide grp "myMenuGroup"
set the editMenus of this stack to true
end if
end preOpenStackChipp had a similar situation and reported this worked just fine: <http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2004-December/048741.html>
