I believe it is set by the size of the window the menu is in. If you move it to the left and make it bigger, the drops will be to the right.
Hope this helps ... Franco

It's like ...\samples\controls\menu\menu_1
It works fine except when the program window is moved to the right that there is no place to display a submenu
Send your code

That's right. If the window is set to the full screen or if the left edge of the window is on the left edge of the screen, then everything is fine.
However, this is not the case for standard windows apps.
My code is:
Code: Select all
#include <hmg.ch>

Hi bobgen,
I am getting this 'left-side" main menu effect in Win10, it was all 'right-side" in WinXp. The same code / exe shows different side menu drop in these Win version (may be also in others).
So I conclude that this is OS effect and HMG has nothing to do with it. Also can not force left or right for the drop menu, through codes.
Regards,
Anand

I still think that this is a problem with HMG, not WIN 10. I use some other tools to develop WIN applications, but they work equally to all win versions.

Bobgen

Well this indeed looks like Win10 issue, which seems to be fixed in latest update !
Below is the sample screen from c:\hmg.3.4.3\SAMPLES\Controls\Menu\MENU_1\

This was showing left-side drop menu earlier. But today it is showing correct i.e. right-side drop menu. Also my other application developed in Xbase++ are showing right-side drop menu.
My current Win10 version is as below,

I can only confirm that the same code is used and same exe is showing different than earlier, i.e. now in correct way.

Anand
EDIT: Screen shot attachments are showing incorrect position in this message , somehow.

I have the same OS build as
bobgen and on my computer the popup menu is displayed correctly.
If there is not enough space to display the next popup menu on the right side, it is displayed on the left side.
