Can you tell me what function I need to use programatically to get the menu bar to automatically hide itself when docked or floating? Also, after hiding the menu bar I need to not have itself magically appear when I switch to another application and come back to it. How do I turn off this behavior? Kevin Eshbach

The CExtMenuControlBar::TranslateMainFrameMessage() method shows menu bar automatically when the VK_MENU key is pressed (ALT key). You can modify the CMainFrame::PreTranslateMessage() method in your project and not invoke menu bar’s CExtMenuControlBar::TranslateMainFrameMessage() method for WM_KEY*** messages when the main frame window is not active. You also can handle the WM_ACTIVATE message in your main frame class and show or hide menu bar depending on the acitve state of the main frame window. Please note, if your main frame class is based on the CExtNCW template class, then the WM_ACTIVATE message should be handled in the WindowProc virtual method.
