Problem with menu bar

Hello

I have a problem with the menu bar of my main pannel. When I run my program and want to make a menu bar selektion, the popup menu disapears before I can make the selektion.
I get the drop-down list, but it disapears before I can make a selektion.

Only when I click 3 times on the topmost menu bar item (e.g. File), then the drop-down list stays open and I can make the selection.
But this is not the way my customer want's to work with the program. He says that in every other windows program the menu bar works with one click, so that this must be a bug in my program.

I found a similar question from Doug Coast on 2/10/2000 in this forum, but no answer.

Im am using CVI 5.51 on Windows 98SE. A test on NT 4.0 shows the sam
e problem.

Thanks for any comment

Hi Stephan,

If you could send an example of what you mean, I may be able to help.

Create a simple project that shows the problem you describe. Zip up all the
files and send it to me.

Regards,

M A J Hawthorne
