MagicLibrary Question..

I am putting a menu control on my form and using a collection to create the File Menu:

mnuFile - &File

Then when I select the Collections property under the mnuFile to add my submenu:

mnuFileOpen - &Open
mnuFileExit - &Exit

I keep getting the following error:

"Forms that are already visible cannot be displayed as a modal dialog. Set the forms visible property to false before calling ShowDialog."

#1 where do i set the forms visible property to false?

#2 Is that why I keep getting the error??

Any help or suggestions?

Thanks,

I get that too, I think its a bug in the code, but I havent had time to look at the source or contact the developer about it.

I'm just avoiding the problem by generating the control + menu items when the form is first loaded. Alot easyer to make changes too than with the property editor too.

VB Code:

Dim topMenu As Crownwood.Magic.Menus.MenuControl
topMenu = New Crownwood.Magic.Menus.MenuControl()
topMenu.MdiContainer = Me
Dim MenuFile As MenuCommand = New MenuCommand("&File")
Dim MenuFileOptions As MenuCommand = New MenuCommand("&Options...", ToolbarImgLst, 3, New EventHandler(AddressOf MenuFileOptions_Click))
Dim MenuFileExit As MenuCommand = New MenuCommand("E&xit", Nothing, Nothing, New EventHandler(AddressOf MenuFileExit_Click))
MenuFile.MenuCommands.AddRange(New MenuCommand() {MenuFileOptions, MenuFileExit})
Me.Controls.Add(topMenu)

For example.
