Hi,

Working on revising a project and hoping to create a Windows theme type of look.

I am hoping to create the look of a standard Windows menu bar at the top of the Window. I've fashioned a very simple version (see attached IMP), but I wonder if anyone has created a better one that they can share.

Kind Regards,

On the 'File' menu I would change the properties to 'Mouse Over' with a pointed finger and underline each menu item via a 'Mouse Over' property too. I would add 'Mouse Over' Action trigger rather than a click, then assign the 'Show' action. On Actions for the Frame use a 'Mouse Exit' trigger to hide the frame. This has the advantage that you can use either a multiple 'If' statements, or better still 'Select Case' statements, to identify the menu to be displayed and all Show Actions for the entire menu set are in one location. Hope that this helps.

Very nice!
