Adding menu items to examples

[Anonymous]

I am new to programming and am trying to learn by studying the examples. I have tried to add a seperator and "SelectAll" to the Edit menu in the WinMenu Example. I still can't figure out how to do this. Please help. When I attempt to add the item to the rc file or the source code and try to compile & run it, the compiler tells me that there are errors. Any ideas?

if you are new you need to add th resource to it in a resource file

so with this in the .h file add this

#define IDMENU              1001
#define ID_EXIT               1002

in the rsrc.rc file
IDMENU   MENU   PRELOAD DISCARDABLE  
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
    MENUITEM "menu", IDC_MENU //<----- resource
    END
END
the resource is often placed into a Res file and called though #include "resource.h" etc

in the .c file there should be this lot of declares

    wincl.hInstance = hThisInstance;     // this instance
    wincl.lpszClassName = szClassName;  // class name
    wincl.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;     // where to
                                                                                       // for
                                                                                      //procedure
    wincl.style = CS_DBLCLKS;                 // catch D clicks
    wincl.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);  // how big
    wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); // icon
   /* to use*/
   wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
  /* same as above*/
   wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
  /* what cursor*/ 
   wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL;
  // and finally the menu commnad
// change this to
// wincl.lpszMenuName = GETMENUITEM(IDMENU);
   wincl.cbClsExtra = 0
   wincl.cbWndExtra = 0
   wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(LTGRAY_BRUSH);

    /* Register the window class, if fail quit the program */
    if(!RegisterClassEx(&wincl)) return 0;
