Hello,
I derived a class from CRecentFileList in order to set the number of displayed chars for MRU.
The problem is that if I open the app with 256 set for this number (it is read from .ini file) the display is correct. But after I change it to 10 for e.g., File menu width remains unchanged altghough MRU are correctly displayed on 10 (or at least file name lenghts) chars.
Have you any ideea how can I tell to the menu to shrink to actual width?
Thank you,
Perhaps, DrawMenuBar could help? :confused:
I've already tried it, no use.
Then try to reload menu (CFrameWnd::OnUpdateFrameMenu followed by DrawMenuBar)
I tried this as you adviced me and still no effect.
Can anyone tell me where is the place the system computes necessary width in order for accelerators to be also displayed?
I think knowing this I will be able to accomplish my update.
How have you implemented it? Could you show your code?Quote:

To override menu for this issue is just too much.
Perhaps I can do it without overriding?
Did you try to completely replace menu? Like it was described in KB How to Use Multiple Menus in MFC App That Uses GetDefaultMenu...
I do not have another menu to replace with.
I just want to tell this menu that I don't need that width anymore.
I saw that this behaviour is the default one in Windows app, but I do not want it.
You do NOT need "another" menu. Just try to load the same menu and replace the existent one with the loaded one.
Let suppose I do not have a document just open the app.
I have a method attached to a menu ID which changed File options width.
In that method I tried this:
Perhaps IDR_MAINFRAME is not found or perhaps something else went wrong the fact is it didn't worked.Quote:
::LoadMenu(AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAINFRAME));
OnUpdateFrameMenu(NULL);
DrawMenuBar();
