Where does Menu hide ?

[PicoPuls]

In flowcode 6 I had a top menu (see arrow)
In flowcode 7 I can't view it, I have tried to right click everywhere
and searched the help.
I guess it hides somewhere.
Can anyone help ?

What happens if you press alt key?

Hi
With me it is in the same place in FC7 than in FC6 only difference I did not change to the white theme as you
stupid question did you try to use the standard dark theme and check if it is the same

That is all help I can offer on this one

[PicoPuls]

Nothing happens with Alt key
I am stuck here as there is no Options for the dark theme
and there is no View to pick different windows

What OS are you using ?

Hi PicoPuls
All the bars including Menu, components etc are moveable so they can be re-docked.
Its possible that the Menu was moved off Flowchart altogether.
If saved like that then when flowchart is loaded, it will load without the Menu:

Deleting from windows registry can be risky.
You can try this if you are careful:
First close Flowcode if open.
Run Regedit
You can do that by clicking on start button then typing regedit within the search box.
Delete the following Key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MatrixTSL\FlowCodeV7\Workspace\Serialize\BCGPDockManager-121

Then open your flowchart.
If not we can try something else.

Yes, that was helpful, thanks
I just deleted the DockingCBandSliders REG_BINARY item
and restarted Flowcode7

I now realize how easy it is by mistake to drag the menu into destruction
with no way to recover it with the mouse.
Is there a way to lock it ?
Otherwise, could you add a icon that restores "Default Docking" or something like that,
in the next version ?

Thanks & Best regards

Hi Guys,

This is a known issue. I have actually already taken a quick look in to the problem because I thought it would be easy to resolve but unfortunately it is not. It is on the list of things to do though. For the moment deleting the registry key is the workaround. the solution is probably going to be to just make the menu fixed so you cant undock it (I am not convinced that anyone ever undocks the menus anyway).

I can not agree more with this in 20 years of using computers I never had a reason to do so
