Hello all,

Can you tell me how to dynamically modify a sub menu?

 Example:
 How to add C sub menus to a menu like:
     POPUP A
     BEGIN
          POPUP B
          BEGIN
               MENUITEM C1
               MENUITEM C2

I did it like this:
          CMenu* _MainMenu = m_wndMenuBar.GetMenu();
          int iPosMenu = FindMenuItem(_MainMenu, "&Menu1");
          CMenu* _Menu2 = _MainMenu->GetSubMenu(iPosMenu);
          iPosMenu = FindMenuItem(_Menu2, "Menu&2");
          _Menu3 = _Menu2->GetSubMenu(iPosMenu);
          iPosMenu = FindMenuItemEx(_Menu3, ID_ITEMSEARCHED);

          _Menu3->RemoveMenu(iPosMenu, MF_BYPOSITION);

          _Menu3->InsertMenu(ID_ITEMSEARCHED, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_ITEMSEARCHED, "Some text");

          VERIFY(g_CmdManager->UpdateFromMenu(pApp->m_pszProfileName, *_MainMenu));

But I would prefer to use your classes to be able to specify the values
m_sMenuText, m_sToolbarText and m_sTipTool.

Thanks a lot.

The popup menus in Prof-UIS are not the same as Windows menus, they are coded from scratch. You can work with them like with CMenu or HMENU. You should not use the m_wndMenuBar.GetMenu code because it returns a temporary menu (for internal use only). To initialize any Prof-UIS menu (in the menu bar or toolbar or as a context menu), handle the CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nMsgPrepareMenu registered windows message. This message is sent by entire popup menu tree each time when it is about to appear on the screen. Please use the following code:

afx_msg LRESULT OnExtMenuPrepare(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nMsgPrepareMenu,
    OnExtMenuPrepare
    )
LRESULT CMainFrame::OnExtMenuPrepare(WPARAM wParam,
         LPARAM lParam)
{
    CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t * pData =
        reinterpret_cast
            < CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t * >
                ( wParam );
    ASSERT( pData != NULL );
    CExtPopupMenuWnd * pPopup = pData->m_pPopup;
    ASSERT( pPopup != NULL );
    // put your pPopup menu modification here
 
    }

Please take a look at the DRAWCLI sample application to see how this mechanism works.

Hello all !

I’m sorry but this will not run properly.

Perhaps I’ve got other error(s) in my code ?

Please take a look at my source (extract from CMainFrame::OnExtMenuPrepare(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)):
 // Popup-menu creation for year selection.
 //
 INT nReplacePos = pPopup->ItemFindPosForCmdID(ID_CURRYEAR);

 if (nReplacePos >= 0)
 {
  CExtPopupMenuWnd* pYearPopup = new CExtPopupMenuWnd;

  VERIFY(pYearPopup->ItemInsert(ID_CURRYEAR_1, 0, "2004", 0));

  VERIFY(pPopup->ItemInsertSpecPopup(pYearPopup, nReplacePos + 1, pPopup->ItemGetText(nReplacePos), pPopup->ItemGetIcon(nReplacePos)));
  pPopup->ItemSetDisplayed( nReplacePos + 1, true );
  VERIFY( pPopup->ItemRemove(nReplacePos) );
 } // if( nReplacePos >= 0 )

 return 1;

There is no error on execution, but the sub menu is empty (a white square is shown).

Can you help me ?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry...

I think it’s a stupid question !!!

My error will come from the "pPopup->ItemGetText(nReplacePos)".

It must be: "pPopup->ItemGetText(nReplacePos + 1)"...

No ?
