Menu is obscured by the top window

10 Jul 2023, 01:52

Today I updated to 2.0.4, and I found that a menu that is displayed above the top window is not displayed anymore, it is blocked by this top window. In the version before 2.0.4, the menu was always displayed normally.
Is this a bug or a new feature that I didn't notice?

Sorry, this problem only occurs with AutoHotkey-H v2.0.4 maintained by thqby.
@thqby

Code: Select all

t:=gui()
t.show("x200 y200 w200 h200")
WinSetAlwaysOnTop 1, t.hwnd
MyMenu := Menu()
MyMenu.Add "Item 1", MenuHandler
MyMenu.Add "Item 2", MenuHandler
MyMenu.Add
MyMenu.Show(200, 200)
MenuHandler(Item, *) {
    MsgBox "You selected " Item
}

MsgBox

I also merged v2.1-alpha.1, and @lexikos added code so that scripts can display menus without blocking, which also caused this problem.

Indeed, this problem also occurs in L2.1.
So should this topic be converted to the "Bug Reports" section?

@thqby This issue doesn't seem to be getting fixed anytime soon, can you fix it at ahk-h?

I've modified it this way, but I'm using MyMenu.Handle, which has no effect. Thanks.

Your method works.
I have done a similar modification, but I used "WinSetAlwaysOnTop 1, MyMenu.Handle" and it had no effect.

@thqby
Although this issue was fixed in v2.1-alpha.2, I found it to be incomplete.
If the window is topped, but not the active window. The menu will still be obscured.
I'm using Hv2.0.10 and I'm not sure if this is the same problem in L2 or H2.1.

The issue cannot be reproduced, but there is an issue where the input focus is not on the menu.

Yes, in the latest H2.0.10 I didn't reproduce the problem. Sorry the H2.0.10 I'm using seems to be some older version. Maybe H should use a version marker somewhere. :)

This will cause too many release tags. :oops:
So only the file was updated.
