I couldn't reproduce this so far, because my client is always maximized. I've started the client with empty settings and in that case it has a small size. Then when I move the mouse from "Server" to "Project" then the subitems of "Project" hide the "Project" item ("Project"\"New" is over "Project"). It doesn't close any item in this case. Is that what happens ? If you have any visible anomaly can you add a screenshot here ? |

Sorry my mistake. I wouldn't say close items. Only hide items from main menu. I upload a screenshot. |

Looks like a bug in Delphi 6 VCL and maybe this bug does also exist in Delphi 7. The Delphi 6 IDE also shows such a behavior. It seams that this bug only exist with low resolution (800x600) or a not maximized client. |

Of course Delphi 6 only shows this behavior if you move the window with the menu from the top of the screen approximately to the middle of the screen (depends on the resolution). With 800x600 and Delphi's menu window on top everything is fine. |

It would appear to be a limitation of TMainMenu. Occurs in D5 & D7 with TMainMenu whenever the height of the menu is greater than the space above and the space below the menu bar. Basically the menus need to split or have scroll options to work under these circumstances. If a menu is increased in height so that it does not fit on the screen at all the scroll arrows appear. When I use Internet Explorer (6.0.2800..) (favorites menus can get fairly long!) to duplicate it works properly. Scroll arrows appear on the menu as required and the menu is limited in height so as not to obscure the menu bar itself. One possible solution is .. procedure TForm1.N11Click(Sender: TObject); var lIndex: integer; lBreakCount: integer; lMenuItemHeight: integer; begin lMenuItemHeight := GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU); lBreakCount := Max(Top, Screen.Height - Top - lMenuItemHeight) div lMenuItemHeight + 1; for lIndex := 0 to (Sender as TMenuItem).Count - 1 do if (lIndex > 0) and (lIndex mod lBreakCount = 0) then TMenuItem(Sender).Items[lIndex].Break := mbBarBreak else TMenuItem(Sender).Items[lIndex].Break := mbNone; end; The code is called in the OnClick of the top level menu items. It makes a (rough) calculation of the number of items the screen can cope with and sets the Break property of each of the menuitems appropriately. |

Kevin unfortunately your solution doesn't help here because the menu still popups over the parent item. |
