Popup Menu

[clamicun]

AW,
thanks. Had the same (similar) ideia.

_MENUBARINFO STRUCT
   cbSize                 DWORD ?
   rcBar                  RECT <>
   hMenu                DWORD ?
   hwndMenu           DWORD ?
   fBarFocused         WORD ?
   fFocused              WORD ?
_MENUBARINFO ENDS

At least GetMenuBarInfo returns 1

AW,
yes, your structure seems to work.
But I do not understand the values returned by rcBar

mbar.rcBar.left"
mbar.rcBar.right
...
...
They definitely dont correspond to my menu, created with CreateMenu

invoke GetMenuBarInfo.hwnd
MS says: "A handle to the window (menu bar) whose information is to be retrieved."

That is the handle of the mainwindow which contains the menu or to the menubar ?

I understand your code is secret and you can't publish it but I have no idea what you are doing.

AW,
???
Why my code is secret ?

I wrote this a couple of times by now:

invoke GetMenuBarInfo,handle_win, OBJID_MENU,0,addr -mbi
(Last time I asked this: handle_win is the handle of the mainwindow of the application or ?)

I check the values
_mbi.rcBar.right
_mbi.rcBar.bottom

Weird values.

They very likely should be:
right = mainwindow width
bottom = ca. 25p (menubar with text)

[AW]

If the function returns false then  use GetLastError to know the exact reason for the error.   ;)

AW,

I wrote that already. With your modified structure the function GetMenuBarInfo returns 1.
I am talking about the values of _mbi.rcBar.

[AW]

If you don't show your code, all I can do is wish you a good luck, you may even find the bug by yourself.  :t

Thank you very much. You're really stubborn ... show code ... it's a normal window ... In WM_CREATE  I create a menu and popupmenu. Everything is business as usual and works fine ... What would you like to see ? ... I am just trying to get all sorts of info about the menubar, cause I would like to change the color of it. Right now it's "GetMenuBarInfo" I am playing with and simply do not understand the values of _mbi.rcBar. right, bottom, left  ... btw. the code is in my  file.zip

[clamicun]

By now I read about 15 articles on GetMenuBarInfo.
I swear noone mentioned that the values returned by mbi.rcBar. ...
correspond to screendimensions.

Clamicum:

You have not posted files using structure.

Sometimes I forgot to make (before to getinfo):

Code: [Select]

mov mbi.cbsize, sizeof _MENUBARINFO
In the 15 articles have to say: A handle to the menu bar whose information is to be retrieved!  (ebx in MinWin)

[clamicun]

HSE,
I was talking on the strange results in mbi.RcBar. xxx
They are not strange at all if you know, that they correspond to Screendimensions

[HSE]

Work perfect but is owner Window handle:

Code: [Select]

   invoke GetMenuBarInfo, hWnd, OBJID_MENU,0, addr mbi

No chance to colorize the menubar

No chance to colorize the menubar

Why don't you go for The Real Thing - a toolbar?

[clamicun]

jj,

The Real Thing ... What actually is the differenz between toolbar and menubar ?
