Go ahead John, don't have the time my self. I hope it helps Esteban.

Looking at Aart Onkenhout's web page for coolmenu:

   http://pbsite.milente.nl/coolmenu.html

The most recent release is 2.5 build 175, dated 10 July 2007. The Visual Studio 6.0 workspace and source code is available for download.

Partly for the challenge and partly for fun on a rainy weekend, I was able to import and upgrade the source into Visual Studio 2019 and with a few hours of work performing source code and directive tweaks (I'm really not a C++ person), I was able to get a clean compile and produce a new dll. I'd like to verify that it works, but I won't have the time to do that for a while. Eventually, I'd like to see what it would take to produce a 64-bit dll, now that I've got a clean 32-bit build.

I notice that Aart's is currently viewing this issue, so I'd like to ask if what I'm doing is OK with him. Aart, let me know it's OK or if you want me to stop and I will abide by your wishes.

Hi Esteban,

the only coolmenu.dll I know is 32-bit.

Have you already tried to set your code generation options to Platform 32-bit instead of 64-bit?

Yes, we did. Normal C/S EXE works fine since it's been what we were using since PB2017 and older versions. We are migrating right now to PB2021 in order to adapt our program to PowerServer.

Is there any suggestion or advice to take off from?

Thanks in advance.

When you are using PowerClient/PowerServer, don't register coolmenu.dll to the register by place it in the application directory (external files).

Hi Esteban ;

  It should work the same in PB2021 as in PB2017Rx. However based on your screen capture - it looks like you are trying to run your App as either a PowerClient or PowerServer based application EXE vs a standard Client/Server App. Is that the case - have you tried a normal C/S EXE?
