Please add the following messages to the CExtMenuControlBar class. They are required for dynamic menus.

WM_INITMENUPOPUP => OnInitMenuPopup
and
WM_INITMENU => OnInitMenu

Thank you.

Dear Mathias,

Prof-UIS menus are not based on the standard owner-draw Windows menus. They are dynamically activated popup windows. Each popup menu is the instance of the CExtPopupMenu object. This object sends its own notification messages to allow the menu to be modified on-the-fly. You can handle the CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nMsgPrepareMenu registered Windows message that is sent once for each activated menu tree. Here is a sample code snippet for the dialog window:

 
 ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(
  CExtPopupMenuWnd::g_nMsgPrepareMenu,
  OnExtMenuPrepare
  )
. . . 
LRESULT CYourDialog::OnExtMenuPrepare(
    WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
 lParam;
CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t * pData =
  reinterpret_cast
   < CExtPopupMenuWnd::MsgPrepareMenuData_t * >
   ( wParam );
 ASSERT( pData != NULL );
CExtPopupMenuWnd * pPopup = pData->m_pPopup;
 ASSERT( pPopup != NULL );
// insert your pPopup menu modificaion code here.
. . .
// sample 1: find and remove a command
INT nPos =
    pPopup->ItemFindPosForCmdID(ID_SOME_COMMAND);
  if( nPos >= 0 )
  {
      VERIFY( pPopup->ItemRemove(nPos) );
  }
// sample 2: insert "about" command
// into the same position
   VERIFY( pPopup->ItemInsert( ID_APP_ABOUT, nPos ) );
}

 
class CMyMenuBar : public CExtMenuControlBar
{
public: 
    bool CMyMenuBar::OnHookWndMsg( 
        LRESULT &lResult, 
        HWND hWndHooked, 
        UINT nMessage, 
        WPARAM &wParam, 
        LPARAM &lParam ) 
    { 
        bool bRetVal = 
            CExtMenuControlBar::OnHookWndMsg(
