Re: Re[4]: wxDialog/wxMiniFrame window shape (was Button in title/caption bar of a window? Is it possible?)

Not quite, I want a menu bar within my popup window. I tried adding a 
menubar, but it appears in the titlebar area (which is not what I want).

I can do this with a toolbar and buttons/static text and detecting the 
onclick events. That way it appears below the virtual title bar.

Thanks again for the advice.

Tony.

PS. I know the Mac menu is supposed to appear at the top of the screen, but 
I've got users that don't notice the menu changing for popup windows (so 
had to put a prominent menu button so they could see that something could 
be done).
