Hello Robin,

Hi Arnauld,

Almost close: Arnaud ;-)

Thanks for the suggestion - it worked! I just assumed 'MenuBarVisible' referred to the windows own menu bar. Since this particular window does not have a menu bar I thought this value could be left deselected. Guess I'll need to RTFM! :-D

Indeed, there can be some unexpected behaviours (at least for the programmer). Sometimes, some properties, methods or events are named as they are, in RB, because it's their primary function, but the OS does some additional things (the documentation of the OS would tell you these differences, certainly, but one "point" of RB is to keep the user away from having to learn the OS things).

One point is not clear to me: you said you had checked if the properties were the same in all the windows in order to find which one could be different for the "bug" to happen. So I guess you saw that one but you didn't tried to change it, correct? I say that because you may gain some time if you try (you know, you can always go back and nothing should be dangerous, unless FolderItem.Delete ;-) ).

Regards,
Arnaud
