Hello
I am trying to change the toolbar backcolor in a menu from script.
I inherited the frame menu to a new name and changed the toolbar color,
and when using changemenu in the MDI window the original color is still there,
the menu itself changed ( have different menu text on 1 item)
But if i open a sheet and close it, the new toolbar color is showed...
Changing toolbar color in the sheet i can not figure out how to do.
Is this a bug or am i missing something ?
Attached a PB19 example to show my point.

Thanks

/Jonas

Hi Jonas;

  Yes, the MDI Frame seems to be the issue. I redid my test using my framework's OrderEntry demo App, as follows:

Before Change Menu...

After Change Menu...

After OpenSheet...

  Looks like the MDI Frame is definitely interfering with the Menu's Toolbar!

I would like to suggest that you open a Support Ticket for this issue.

Regards ... Chris

Hi Jonas;

   You cannot do that in any PB version as the background colour property in the menu object is "write protected". I have no idea why Sybase never addressed this PowerSoft restriction. 

:-(

Hello Chris

ChangeMenu() does not work, atleast not toolbar color...

You can set the Toolbar Colour in the Menu Painter. Thus a ChangeMenu() on a new Menu Object class would work. Note: You need to change both the MenuBackColor and ToolBarBackColor properties to be consistent (colour wise).

This is how it behaving in a MDI application

The problem is Toolbar Color, Menu Color seems to work.

also in a SDI application toolbar Color is working fine after a ChangeMenu()
