Hi,
I'm trying to get custom menus working for an AUI_MDI app. The sample in the wx demo and docs show how to do this, but the EVT_MENU event is not fired for child window menu items. Here is a modified version of the demo app..note that the ChildFrame has a call to Bind to get events for it's menu items, but the OnMenu function is never called.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks, Paul
