PRB: Top Level Menu Items Do Not Generate Click Events

• Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The Click event is not fired when a top-level menu item is clicked. Note that this is only true for the top-level menu items. Any code that is placed in this event will not be executed and will need to be placed in another event.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows CE version 2.0 does not support top-level menu items without sub-items.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new Windows CE (HPC) Project in Visual Basic 5.0. Form1 is created by default.



2. Right-click on Form1, and select the Menu Editor from the shortcut menu.



3. Change the following properties:
   
   Caption = Test
   Name = mnuTest



4. Click OK.



5. Add the following code to the project:
   
   

   
         Private Sub mnuTest_Click()
            MsgBox "Test"
         End Sub 





6. Press the F5 key to run the project.
   
   NOTE: If you're using the Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, the following message will appear:
   
   "Your project specifies a top level menu item mnutest, which has no sub items. This is not supported in Windows CE."



7. In Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0, click the "Test" menu, and note that the Click event did not fire.
