Clarity Visual Menu Editor
Hello VB developers,
I am searching for an alternative to the VB menu editor, since it has following downsides:
- no ratio buttons available
- no Unicode support
- no icon support (ok, this is a "just nice to have" - not extremely important)
It would be good, if the new solution had following features:
- automatic checkmark/ratiomark switching without the need to code it
- one event for all items with an item ID parameter (instead of an event for each single item)
- event for WM_MENUSELECT (to show a tooltip while hovering an item for instance)
- event for WM_MENURBUTTONUP (to show an item context menu)
- shortcut keys support like in the VB6 editor
- mouse wheel support, if the menu exceeds the screen size would be nice too
Important for me is the design: it should be the native system visual style!
On many examples this style gets lost while doing owner drawing, or it is using another style initially (e. g. Office XP style).
Even while using the API flags for a menu break has the effect, that the menu switches to the classic style.
So if there is a solution to show a fonts or colors menu while keeping the native visual style, it would be awesome.
The solution should be consistent. This means all static items are created via an editor OR via code.
Creating the menu via the editor and then adding features via code should not happen if possible.
Before starting to code myself I like to ask you, if you know of some solution or examples at least.
I found many stuff, but it was not satisfying.
But I also found a pretty interesting editor solution: Clarity Visual Menu Editor.
Unfortunately the developer site vanished. On waybackmachine the product site is still available, but the download is not working. All I could found was a cracking site, even that the product was made free in 2005.
So my second question: does anybody have still a copy of that editor available for me?
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried searching PSC?
