[Dev-C++] No Menu

[Karim Liman-T. <klt...@gm...>]

Hello,

I've recently installed Dev-C++ v 4.9.9.0 (5 beta) and I'm trying to
define a menu. I have browsed the mailing list archive and have found
a similar problem but it didn't help me solve mine. Here are my source
codes:

====================== main.cpp ===========================

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

/*  Declare Windows procedure  */
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

/*  Make the class name into a global variable  */
char szClassName[ ] = "HelpClientClass";

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR lpszArgument,
                    int nFunsterStil)

{
    HWND hwnd;               /* This is the handle for our window */
    MSG messages;            /* Here messages to the application are saved */
    WNDCLASSEX wincl;        /* Data structure for the windowclass */

    /* The Window structure */
    wincl.hInstance = hThisInstance;
    wincl.lpszClassName = szClassName;
    wincl.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;      /* This function is
called by windows */
    wincl.style = CS_DBLCLKS;                 /* Catch double-clicks */
    wincl.cbSize = sizeof (WNDCLASSEX);
    wincl.lpszMenuName  = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU); /* Menu attached
to window /*

    /* Use default icon and mouse-pointer */
    wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL;                 /* No menu */
    wincl.cbClsExtra = 0;                      /* No extra bytes after
the window class */
    wincl.cbWndExtra = 0;                      /* structure or the
window instance */
    /* Use Windows's default color as the background of the window */
    wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_BACKGROUND;

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

    /* The class is registered, let's create the program*/
    hwnd = CreateWindowEx (
           0,                   /* Extended possibilites for variation */
           szClassName,         /* Classname */
           "Windows Help",       /* Title Text */
           WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, /* default window */
           CW_USEDEFAULT,       /* Windows decides the position */
           CW_USEDEFAULT,       /* where the window ends up on the screen */
           544,                 /* The programs width */
           375,                 /* and height in pixels */
           HWND_DESKTOP,        /* The window is a child-window to desktop */
           NULL,                /* No menu */
           hThisInstance,       /* Program Instance handler */
           NULL                 /* No Window Creation data */
           );

    /* Make the window visible on the screen */
    ShowWindow (hwnd, nFunsterStil);

    /* Run the message loop. It will run until GetMessage() returns 0 */
    while (GetMessage (&messages, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        /* Translate virtual-key messages into character messages */
        TranslateMessage(&messages);
        /* Send message to WindowProcedure */
        DispatchMessage(&messages);
    }

    /* The program return-value is 0 - The value that PostQuitMessage() gave */
    return messages.wParam;
}


/*  This function is called by the Windows function DispatchMessage()  */

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM
wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (message)                  /* handle the messages */
    {
        case WM_DESTROY:
            PostQuitMessage (0);       /* send a WM_QUIT to the message queue */
            break;
        default:                      /* for messages that we don't deal with */
            return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }

    return 0;
}

===========================================================

Here's my resource header file:

==================== resource.h ===============================

#define IDR_MENU                        101
#define ID_FILE_OPEN                    102
#define ID_FILE_PRINT                   103
#define ID_FILE_EXIT                    104
#define ID_EDIT_COPY                    105
#define ID_EDIT_ANNOTATE                106
#define ID_BKMARK_DEFINE                107
#define ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_DEFAULT   108
#define ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_ENABLED   109
#define ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_DISABLED  110
#define ID_OPTION_SHOWHISTORY           111
#define ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_SMALL        112
#define ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_MEDIUM       113
#define ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_LARGE        114
#define ID_OPTION_USESYSCOLORS          115

===========================================================

And finally the resource file itself:

===================== resource.rc =============================
#include "resource.h"

IDR_MENU MENU
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Open", ID_FILE_OPEN
        MENUITEM SEPARATOR
        MENUITEM "&Print", ID_FILE_PRINT
        MENUITEM SEPARATOR
        MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
    END
    
    POPUP "&Edit"
    BEGIN
       MENUITEM "&Copy", ID_EDIT_COPY
       MENUITEM SEPARATOR
       MENUITEM "&Annotate", ID_EDIT_ANNOTATE
    END
    
    POPUP "&Bookmark"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Define", ID_BKMARK_DEFINE
    END
    
    POPUP "&Options"
    BEGIN
        POPUP "&Always on top"
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "&Default", ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_DEFAULT, CHECKED
                MENUITEM "&Enabled", ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_ENABLED
                MENUITEM "D&isabled", ID_OPTION_ALWAYSONTOP_DISABLED
        END
        
        MENUITEM "&Show History...", ID_OPTION_SHOWHISTORY
        
        POPUP "&Font Size"
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "&Small", ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_SMALL
                MENUITEM "&Medium", ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_MEDIUM, CHECKED
                MENUITEM "&Large", ID_OPTION_FONTSIZE_LARGE
        END
        
        MENUITEM "&Use system colors", ID_OPTION_USESYSCOLORS
    END
END

===========================================================

There's no error on compilation but the resulting .exe is menu-less.

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me.

Hello everyone,

I've solved the problem; I actually had a     wincl.lpszMenuName =
NULL; line just after I defined my menu... stupid me ;)
