Menu bar height ?

[Guillaume Dargaud]

I have a menu bar in my main panel. What is its height ?
I don't see it in GetMenuBarAttribute. It's about 20 pixels but how do I find it programmatically
?

Thanks for all the previous answers.

Guillaume,

The height of the menubar is given by the following expression:

height = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) + 2;

(you'll need to include windows.h to be able to run this).

Hi Guillaume,

I don't think there is any way to change the height of the menu bar. CVI menu bars are inherited from the OS like most applications. So it will use the system wide settings and it will look like any other menu bar in the system.

You may to look into a a toolbar to have more control on how things look. Here is a good example on how the FP works.

I hope this helps.

Why add 2 after "GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYMENU) " please?

It's room for the boundary line of the menubar.
