I am working on a program in visual C++ (32 bit ver 1.1) and used the AppStudio to create a menu for the main window of my program. The program compiles fine but when the window is created only the top half of the menu is visible (i.e. the client window(rectangle) obscures the bottom half of the menubar) Moreover, when I pull one of the menus down, the popup menu appears at the top of that client area (i.e. above the bottom of the would-be menu bar. Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?? Does anyone know any possible reasons for it or how to fix it?? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Check to see if your menu has any item with empty text, or has a vertical separator at the end. If I remember correctly, those are two things that cause the half height menu problem… Hope this helps, Mary Kirtland MFCJournal
