v28.0.0.2 submenus
« on: August 22, 2023, 04:45:52 pm »
v28.0.0.2

Some of the submenus do not show up... i.e. when you move the cursor to a menu item that has an arrow, nothing happens.

For example, compare View->Outline and View->Symbol Coloring.

I can't reproduce this.

First try a default config:

Code: [Select]
vs -sc c:\tempconfig
Maybe there was an issue upgrading your config to 28.0.0

Thanks, I will try the default config.

I installed 28 beta 2 with 28 beta 1 already present.

With default config, all submenu's are seen.

With my config, all of the submenu items that are not visible have no sub-items under the menu item when viewed in the menu editor.

Please zip up your 28.0.0 config directory without subdirectories and post here. The tagfiles directory is large and not needed.

userMenus.xml records edits made to various menu resources. There are a ton of deletes recorded for the _mdi_menu. It gets applied any time the config is upgraded (also when you switched from 28.0.0.0-beta 1 to 28.0.0.2-beta 2) . There's no way for me to know when the edit's were made and why there are so many deletes.

userMenus.xml is bad. If you want to keep the rest of your original config, do the following:
  • Exit SlickEdit
  • Delete 28.0.0\userMenus.xml
  • Delete 28.0.0\vslick.sta
  • Run SlickEdit and 28.0.0\vslick.sta will be regenerated.

Instead of deleting userMenus.xml, you could remove all the menu edits for _mdi_menu in userMenus.xml and let the other menu edits get applied.

On beta 1, I deleted userMenus.xml and vslick.sta, now I don't see my toolbars, and View-> has no Show Toolbars and no Show Tool Windows.

Try on beta 2.

There should be a 28.0.0\vusrobjs.e macro which has your custom toolbars in it. check the contents. It should contain your custom tool bar definitions. When vslick.sta is deleted, vusrobjs.e is supposed to be applied. You can copy it from your 27.0.2 config or another config if you don't have one.
