Hi Chris,
I have started to collect info about the VM application and menus. there
are quite a few built-in scripts and functions to work with menus. Just do
a search for "menu" in the FSDN to get an idea. Functions like
GetMenuName
GetMenuMode
MenuModeEvent
MenuBarActiveProcessed
and
MenuActiveProcessed
look useful once a menu is activated to get information and feedback about
the status, mode and location in the menus. However, this is not really the
problem in this application. They seem to work fine once activated. There
are functions like
ActivateMenuBar
but I don't think this by itself will do anything different than pressing
the Alt key. Perhaps a manual window classification like I previously was
able to do with System Tray windows will help.
I have not gotten much accomplished today. I was not feeling well and there
was a bat flying around the room all night!
