Help in Menu issue

[Diamond Star]

lHello!
I need help with menu issue and need examp;es about:
- How  can I display menu as window menu after loading it from resource with LoadMenu
- Hou can I display menu as context menu after loading it from resource with LoadMenu
although I think that the menu editor designs only window menus template not context menus
and why the first class-items have no ID.?

[dedndave]

i just wrote a couple programs that had menus
and - there was another thread on menus

they are fairly simple, really
after LoadMenu returns an HMENU handle....
1) you can put it in the WNDCLASSEX structure - all windows of that class will have the menu
2) you can use the handle as a parameter for CreateWindowEx - just that window will have the menu
3) or, after you have created a window, you can use SetMenu

for a context menu, LoadMenu in WM_CREATE and store the handle in a global variable
then, when a WM_RBUTTONUP or a WM_CONTEXTMENU message is received, call TrackPopupMenu
the wParam or lParam parms for those messages has the mouse position

for WM_RBUTTONUP, you have to translate client coordinates to screen coordinates
for WM_CONTEXTMENU, they are already screen coordinates, which is what TrackPopupMenu needs

why the first class-items have no ID

i don't understand that one   :P

This is not anything specific to the Easy Code IDE. This example uses the same menu resource and handle for both menus. The WM_CONTEXTMENU code follows a Microsoft example from and older PSDK, but I think essentially the same example code is here.

this is a masm example
there is a lot of room for variations, of course   :P

in this one, i used MENUEX and {} braces in the resource file, just to demonstrate them
you can just use MENU and BEGIN/END (there are many existing examples)

you could also add accelerators (keyboard shortcuts to the menu items)

on TrackPopupMenu, you can set the TPM_RETURNCMD and TPM_NONOTIFY flags
then, handle the menu selection when TrackPopupMenu returns, rather than in WM_COMMAND

Here's another one.. useful with regard to context sensitivity..
