Do mdi children comport menus?

[xandaz]

   i was going through my own experiencies. WM_MDISETMENU was prolly commented. But did you get it to work? and [edi.CREATESTRUCT.hwndParent is not the way that's in the header. i din't know about the align_2 issue. Seems to work fine. Soryr if i wasted your time. Don't need to be rude. Thanks anyway

[xandaz]

   But did you get the menu to work? ty ty

[xandaz]

   It doesn't throw error. Assembles just fine. the supposed CREATESTRUCT.hwndParent issue doesn't even deserve to be mentioned. ît's a header problem. And the align_2 issue. I really don't see the point cause it's working just fine. I'm sorry and disgusted for myself for not being able to live up to your God-level or coding.

The code you posted at http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=8967.msg98143#msg98143 does not assemble, due to several little problems (I tried with MASM and UASM), and it does not contain the WM_MDISETMENU message that you say is not working.

[xandaz]

   It's not fully able but i think that this is the way WM_MDISETMENU message works. Haven't been able to make it restore the original frame window Menu but it seems that it's all. No child window menus allowed. ty

[xandaz]

   It appears that this is all that can be done. An exchange of menus using WM_NCMOUSEMOVE works perfectlly. No menus for child windows. ty. If you're interested to check it out it's under MdiChildProc and WndProc, tahnks JJ

Error A2063: Symbol not defined : CREATESTRUCTW.hwndParent

Did you "adjust" your Windows.inc?

[xandaz]

    no i did not because that's not very important. but i'll get there

[jj2007]

So explain to me how you can assemble the code you posted, in spite of the undefined CREATESTRUCT.hwndParent issue. Or do you post code that assembles with errors?

[xandaz]

    Is it possible to assemble with errors? it has some issues i know but it assembles. How could there be an executable if it didn't?

[jj2007]

How could there be an executable if it didn't?

That is a valid argument, but then how is it possible that you don't get an error message for CREATESTRUCT.hwndParent? Can you post your Windows.inc? This is mysterious, I'd like to understand what's going on.

My version says hWndParent, from Windows.inc, 977412 bytes, 10.1.2012 00:21

So you have an obsolete or "adjusted" Windows.inc

   you're repeating yourself. I alreadu know that. Assembles with  error. it's a special argument ml ?.asm /TAS (take all shit)

[jj2007]

You have an obsolete or "adjusted" Windows.inc

Which means whatever source code you post may not run on the machines of other members.

There is a reason why I asked you above to post your Windows.inc
