Do mdi children comport menus?

[xandaz]

    I have this code

Code Select Expand


CreateMdiMenu   PROC    hWnd:DWORD

    invoke  CreateMenu
    mov     hMenu,eax
    invoke  SetMenu,hWnd,eax
    push    eax   
    invoke  GetWindowLong,hWnd,GWL_USERDATA
    mov     edi,eax
    pop     eax
    mov     [edi.MdiStruct.hMenu],eax
    invoke  CreatePopupMenu
    mov     hMenuMdiFile,eax
    invoke  CreatePopupMenu
    mov     hMenuMdiEdit,eax
    invoke  CreatePopupMenu
    mov     hMenuMdiTools,eax
    lea     esi,MiiMdiChild
    push    hMenuMdiFile
    pop     [esi.MENUITEMINFO.hSubMenu]
    invoke  InsertMenuItem,hMenu,-1,TRUE,esi
    add     esi,sizeof MENUITEMINFO
    push    hMenuMdiEdit
    pop     [esi.MENUITEMINFO.hSubMenu]
    invoke  InsertMenuItem,hMenu,-1,TRUE,esi
    add     esi,sizeof MENUITEMINFO
    push    hMenuMdiTools
    pop     [esi.MENUITEMINFO.hSubMenu]
    invoke  InsertMenuItem,hMenu,-1,TRUE,esi
    lea     esi,MiiMdiEdit
    mov     edi,119
    mov     ecx,3
loop_1:
    push    ecx
    invoke  LoadBitmap,hInstance,edi
    mov     [esi.MENUITEMINFO.hbmpChecked],eax
    invoke  InsertMenuItem,hMenuMdiFile,-1,TRUE,esi   
    add     esi,sizeof MENUITEMINFO
    inc     edi
    pop     ecx
    loop    loop_1
    invoke  DrawMenuBar,hWnd
    ret
       
CreateMdiMenu   endp

    No menu appears. why would that be?

[xandaz]

   i've been experiencing with WM_MDISETMENU but nothing happens.

[xandaz]

    I'm still fighting against these mdi children. Why dont they accept menus?

If you post complete code, maybe somebody can help

[xandaz]

here the code:

Code Select Expand


   .elseif uMsg==WM_CREATE
        invoke  MdiCreateWindows,hWnd

[xandaz]

   Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need all the code....cause i'll post.

[jj2007]

   Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need all the code....cause i'll post.

Of course we need the complete code! Do you think anybody has the time and energy to add all the headers and WndMain and WndProc to your snippet, in order to make it debuggable???

[xandaz]

   ....ok. sorry.

[xandaz]

    what we're after is in the mdichild.asm.

[xandaz]

   It gives INVALID_WINDOW_HANDLE on SetMenu,hWnd,hMdiMenu although i'm not sure this call is necessary and gives the same error on WM_MDISETMENU and DrawMenuBar.

[xandaz]

    Sorry the  error for SetMenu is ERROR_CHILD_WINDOW_MENU.

[xandaz]

    I'm pretty sure it's a lost issue. One must use WM_MDISETMENU to change menus but the menu bar always appears in the Frame Window.

[jj2007]

It took me half an hour to fix things like [edi.CREATESTRUCT.hWndParent] instead of your [edi.CREATESTRUCT.hwndParent] ("Symbol not defined : CREATESTRUCTW.hwndParent"), the align_2 issue etc, only to discover that the WM_MDISETMENU message that you complain about is not present in your code. You are wasting my precious time.

[xandaz]

   I would laugh a little but it seems you're pretty serious. Sorry for anything.

[jj2007]

I wonder how you made this code assemble, it throws errors
