Dynamic menu widht problem Topic is solved

[d1niel84]

My problem is that the width of the menu does not adjust dynamically.
if i select the short menu first and then the long one, the short one will also be "long" afterwards.

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button, gButton1, short
Gui, Add, Button, gButton2, long
Gui, Show
Return

Button1:
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add
	Menu, ButtonMenu, DeleteAll
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add, short, empty
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Show
Return

Button2:
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add
	Menu, ButtonMenu, DeleteAll
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add, looooooooong, empty
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Show
Return

empty:
Return

Menu, long , Add, looooooooong, Empty
Gui, Font, s10
Gui, Add, Button, w230, Short
Gui, Add, Button, wp  , Long
Gui, Show
Return

ButtonShort:

ButtonLong:
Menu, long, Show
Return

Thanks mikeyww. Above was a example. What i want to say is that I use the same menu but with different content. I load the content dynamicly
Not two different menus.

Sounds like it could warrant a @teadrinker solution.

Yes, but only for 5 minutes.
Then I need a solution

There is no plain solution. Just ignore that.

@d1niel84, replace DeleteAll with Delete:

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, Button, gButton1, short
Gui, Add, Button, gButton2, long
Gui, Show
Return

Button1:
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Delete
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add, short, empty
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Show
Return

Button2:
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Delete
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Add, loooooooooooooong, empty
	Menu, ButtonMenu, Show
Return

empty:
Return

I think this is because when the Win32 menu is destroyed, its width is also reset. From the documentation:

Any of the following can cause this Win32 menu to be destroyed, along with any parent menus and submenus:

Deleting a menu.
Replacing an item's submenu with a label or a different menu.
Prior to [v1.1.27.03], calling the sub-commands NoStandard (if the standard items were present) or DeleteAll.

This implies that after v1.1.27.03 DeleteAll doesn't do that, but Delete does.
