event for menu closing?

[ElectroLund]

Is there a way I can detect when a user closes a menu or menu popup?  I would like to shut down other timers in a single-threaded app when the user opens a menu.  But then I need to know when to restart all the timers.

Have you considered creating a variable and updating it in the event callback functions for these buttons, and then using this variable to reset the timers?

[ElectroLund]

Thanks for the thoughts.  But these are for menus, not buttons.  But I think I see your thought process.  The trouble is, a user has the option of aborting a menu without actually doing a COMMIT of any one menu item.  There doesn't seem to be an event types that account for when a menu is closed.

If you happen to use Runpopupmenu,  the return value of the function is 0 if no menu item was selected

[ElectroLund]

Hmm, that's tempting.  I do use Runpopupmenu, but not exclusively.  So unfortunately, it would be only a half-solution.

What I'm really trying to do here is to speed up my GUI during operation.  I really just need to fully commit one of these days and embrace multi-threading in my application.   🙂

For the long term you might want to support and/or modify the suggestion of having a suitable mouse cursor event
