Yes. TO get the menu back you have to
click on the menu icon on your desktop.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - RHide
My clients have never liked the fact that, under
6.5++,
that they cannot minimize the main menu form that I design.
Other
Windows apps run in smaller windows, so the main menu
always shows in the
background. Very unprofessional. Yet
when I used 'RHIDE', they
didn't see any indication on the
task bar that RBase was running so they
wind up opening up
multiple versions of the app. I know alot of
people use
RHIDE -- this doesn't bother your clients?
I'm confused
by the behavior I'm seeing in 7.0. I have an icon
that runs the
rbg7.exe program, and the "start in" directory
points to my database
directory where it will automatically run
my rbase.dat file:
conn
oakfores
rhide
edit using mainmenu
rshow
exit
Minimizing the MainMenu form puts an RBase icon on the
task bar
(nice) and puts a form icon in the 'desktop' area. In XP it
also
puts a little RBase icon picture at the far right area of my
task
bar where startup processes are usually shown. If I have
another
app maximized on this screen (like this email editor) and I
click
on the RBase icon on the task bar (the big one), it seems to
totally disappear, looking like I had just closed RBase.
And
indeed if I bring up the Task Manager I do not see RBase running
as
an application. Then I remembered that little RBase
picture
at the far right. Double-clicking on that picture brings the
RBase
icon back to my task bar. Is this the behavior you all
are
getting?
I have a client chomping on the bit to upgrade to 7.0
but one of
his main reasons is hoping the RHIDE would behave better.
He wants
to go to any workstation and glance at the task bar to see if
they
have RBase running. I would have to tell him that he needs to
also
look over to the far right to see if there's a picture there.
And I
don't know how it works with
Win98....
