How do I determine if the menubar is visible?
using "the visible of the menubar" does not work

In the IDE or standalone?
Mac or Windows?
While a (system) menubar is always visible on a Mac, you may want to check for the RevMenubar in the IDE:
Code: Select all
put the visible of stack "revmenubar"

In the IDE on a Mac. Checking the visibility of the revMenubar stack doesn’t work. It returns the same result when the menubar is hidden as it does when it is visible.

Are we talking about the same thing?
See screenshots, one with "Toolbar text" (= stack "revmenubar") shown and one without.

No we aren't. I'm referring the actual Mac OS menubar that is hidden/shown with "hide menubar"/"show menubar". Is there a way to determine if it is visible or not? In SuperCard it was possible to "get the visible of the menubar", but I haven't been able to find something similar in LC.

Hi,
I tried to use the working screenrect to determine if the Mac menubar is visible or not.
On my MacBook Pro with a "notch" (where the camera is) it changed from
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
hide menubar
put the working screenrect
end mouseUp
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
show menubar
put the working screenrect
end mouseUp
Visible:
0,
38,1728,1117
Hidden
0,
32,1728,1117
So the top (item 2 of the working screenrect) changes.
Maybe that helps
Kind regards
Bernd

Yes that does help. On a desktop with no notch, the working rect is 0,23,2560,1080 when the menubar is visible and 0,0,2560,1080 when it is hidden.
So if the working screenrect = the screenrect then the menubar is hidden, on a display without a notch.
