For my project Flipclock i want to add a dropdown-Menu but without an extra MUI-Window. I take the Menu-Example.
When i remove the not needed <window>-Tag from the XML, it always want a Window declaration with at least some tags in it.
How to prevent this?
I just need Pulldown-Menu.

Re: Dropdown Menu without Window forced
That's just not possible. In MUI Royale menustrips are MUI classes as well, so they need a MUI window and MUI application to work with.fingus wrote:For my project Flipclock i want to add a dropdown-Menu but without an extra MUI-Window. I take the Menu-Example.

Ok, then i have to declare my double-buffered hollywood-window as MUI-Window in order to get the Dropdown-Menu running?Andreas wrote:That's just not possible.

Yes. But keep in mind that MUI windows do not support any alpha transparency or even normal transparency.

Hi,
In the Songplayer example is it possible to add the information in the extra MUI window (playlist) into the main window (once made bigger)?

Re: Dropdown Menu without Window forced
Not knowing much about MUI or all, but just came to my mind that would there maybe be possiblity for fake transparency.
For can you continually take screenshot of workbench, then cut it to the size of the mui window, alter the screenshot to make it look like transparent, and then use it as (constantly updating) background picture of MUI.

Re: Dropdown Menu without Window forced
The best way of faking transparency is to watch when the window is moved or resized via the messaging system.
On this topic I wonder if Andreas can answer a question for me, using notify="" how can I listen for Close, MoveWindow(?) and ResizeWindow(?) at the same time? And are these the correct names?

Re: Dropdown Menu without Window forced
Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to get these MoveWindow events for MUI windows. But faking transparency in a MUI window sounds like a bad idea anyway...
Re: Dropdown Menu without Window forced
Andreas, you never addressed my other points...

notify="close,resizewindow"??
