RE: [Dev-C++] CreateMenu + InsertMenuItem

[Marc H. <ma...@e-...>]

Doing just a quick scan of the code, I can tell you that you should be
using:
NMI.fMask=3DMIIM_STATE|MIIM_ID|MIIM_TYPE|MIIM_STRING;
Don't use || and add the MIIM_STRING.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [Dev-C++] CreateMenu + InsertMenuItem

I have to create dynamically a menu from a file. From the win32
documentation and several web sites, I tried the following code, based =
on
InsertMenuItem. This function returns a nonzero value=3DOK, but no menu =
is
displayed. If I try a static menu with LoadMenu and SetMenu, instead of =
this
code, the menu is displayed correctly (but is static).

What=92s wrong with this code=A0?=20


   HMENU hMyMenu=3DCreateMenu();
   if (!hMyMenu)
   {
      MessageBox(NULL, "Unable to create Menu", "Internal error", 0);
      return FALSE;
   }
   DWORD IDCurrentItem=3D1;
   int iPosition=3D0;
   while (<not end of file>) //it loops several times
   {
         char szBuffer[BUFFER_SIZE]=A0;

         <read szBuffer from file> // the buffer content is OK

         MENUITEMINFO NMI;
         ZeroMemory(&NMI, sizeof NMI);
         NMI.cbSize=3Dsizeof NMI;
         NMI.fMask=3DMIIM_STATE||MIIM_ID||MIIM_TYPE;
         NMI.fType=3DMFT_STRING;
         NMI.fState=3DMFS_ENABLED;
         NMI.wID=3DIDCurrentItem++;
         NMI.dwTypeData=3D(LPTSTR)szBuffer;
         NMI.cch=3Dstrlen(szBuffer);
         if (!InsertMenuItem(hMyMenu, iPosition++, TRUE, &NMI))
         {
            MessageBox(NULL, szBuffer, "Internal Error: unable to create
menu item=94, 0);
            return FALSE;
         }
   }

   SetMenu(hwnd, hMyMenu); // no menu displayed=A0!!
   return TRUE;
