When I put a TIWMenu and a TIWRegion on a TIWAppForm with 

IWMenu.align := alTop;
IWRegion.align := alClient;

the submenu of IWMenu is hidden behind the region. That means, when I click on File, a submenu should come up with Open, Save, Save As ..., and it does, but I only see the upper border as the rest shows up behind the IWRegion.

I tried to change the z-order, but it does not help. Neither does setting the IWRegion.ClipRegion := False;

Does anybody have a clue what I do wrong?

I am using Delphi BDS4/2006 with IntraWeb 9.0.42, Windows Vista x64, and Firefox 3.5, IE8, and IE Tab in Firefox.

I drop the two components on the form, connect the main menu to IWMenu, and there the problem is.

Could you be more specific about your setup (e.g. Windows version) and steps to reproduce? Sounds like something wrong in how you've set this up.

I can't reproduce this problem, either in BDS2006 (IW ver 8) nor in RAD2009 (IW ver 10).

I started with a standalone IW application, dropped in a TIWMenu (Align=alTop), TIWRegion (Align=alClient), and TMainMenu (with a few menu and submenu items), and attached the TIWMenu to the TMainMenu. Running this under Win XP sp3, I see the menu and submenu items just fine (over the IWRegion).

The problem was with the ServerController that used a style sheet. This prevented the z-index from being set by the application and therefore the z-order was wrong for the TIWMenu component.

Removing the style sheet resolved the problem. The style sheet had some IDs conflicting with IW.

  • It would have been great if you'd mentioned that this was not replicated with a simple test app (which would have lacked that style sheet). *Test apps are key to tracking down bugs*. – Argalatyr Aug 27 '09 at 19:14
  • Sorry, I happened to have made a test app, but my predecessor had changed the templates such that they by default had a style sheet. – Ralph M. Rickenbach Aug 28 '09 at 05:23
  • Templates are usually helpful, but can make it harder to track problems. – Argalatyr Aug 29 '09 at 20:26
