The right option is: Scroll right - never

The boundary to activate the scrolling is not depending on the room available on the menu but it is a fixed characters number.]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:22:50 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404
Maybe my entry was right on the boundary of "long enough to need to scroll" although it was fully visible before the scrolling started... that boundary may be another bug.]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2016 12:16:37 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404 If you create a long named item and the scrolling on items is activated the & char won't be considered as an accelerator, if the item is shorter or the scrolling is deactivated it is considered correctly.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:19:47 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404

[X] Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys

While I had set that in my old computer, I hadn't got around to setting it in my newest one with Win10.

When I set it, then SyMenu shows the underlines, so it is, apparently following the default Windows setting for that.

However, even before I set it, one of my programs was showing the underlines, so I had apparently overridden the setting. Apparently that is done by making sure that ODS_NOACCEL is not set in the menu entries... somehow... I didn't quickly find it in my code.]]> Tue, 26 Jan 2016 07:07:59 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404 I'll keep you posted.]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:57:44 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404
&Analyze .song, generate print.tsv]]> Sun, 24 Jan 2016 04:05:16 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404 The correct replacement should be this one:
&Program name becomes Program name (we know that the underline doesn't appear but it works the same as accelerator)
&&Program name becomes &Program name]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2016 14:09:05 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404
What seemed to be a _bug_ rather than a missing feature, is the visibility of the & character itself in one entry I created.

Your response seemed to focus on the underlining; I think the underlining can be controlled by a bit in the menu creation API somewhere, as once upon a time I created a program (now invoked by SyMenu) that always underlines its accelerator keys, but it is a long time since I've looked at the code that caused that to happen.

I reply just to make sure you don't miss the issue of the & being visible.]]> Fri, 22 Jan 2016 00:42:13 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404 According to the current implementation of SyMenu the _ accelerator shouldn't appear at all but should work the same. If in some case they are shown, it is a bug.
I will analyze the problem to always make them appear that is the most correct behavior.]]> Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:35:40 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=404
Windows switched the default from displaying accelerator keystrokes with _ all the time to only doing it when the menu was invoked by a keystroke. Not sure of the internal mechanism. However, SyMenu doesn't _ the keystrokes whether invoked with a click or the hotkey.

Would be nice if it underlined them when invoked by the hotkey. Would be nice to have an option to turn on the underlines all the time.]]> Mon, 18 Jan 2016 09:44:36 GMT
