Sure - just pass my code to "fluid -c" and then check (copy!) the C++ that produces. But yes, you need to create a "dummy" group (mGroup, say) suitably sized to hold "the menubar", then fill that group with two actual menu bars, mLeft, mRight, say. Make mRight just big enough to hold your help menu, with mLeft totally filling the rest of the space. Set mLeft as the resizable for the mGroup, mGroup->resizable(mLeft); And hope for the best. The only downside to this approach is that (depending on box styles used) you may get a "divider line" between mLeft and mRight. Actually, I quite like that effect, but you may not. By juggling about with box styles of the menubars and the parent group, you can change the appearance of that line, but be aware that the menu items inherit their styles from their parent menubar, and not all possible menubar box styles make nice looking menu items... As a quick check, you can compile up my example very swiftly by just doing: fluid -c example.fl fltk-config --compile example.cxx HTH, -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
