Re: [Dev-C++] Making a windows menu

[<jos...@ya...>]

In the resource (.rc) file type

#include <windows.h> // this is necessary for IDHELP
#include "menu.h" // this you create within the project

EXAMPLEMENU MENU
{
 POPUP "&File"
 {
  MENUITEM "&New\tCtrl+N",                        IDM_FILENEW
  MENUITEM "&Open\tCtrl+O",                       IDM_FILEOPEN
  MENUITEM "&Close",                              IDM_FILECLOSE
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "&Exit\tAlt+F4",                       IDM_FILEEXIT
 }

 POPUP "&Edit"
 {
  MENUITEM "&Undo\tCtrl+Z",                       IDM_EDITUNDO
  MENUITEM SEPARATOR
  MENUITEM "Cu&t\tCtrl+X",                        IDM_EDITCUT
  MENUITEM "&Copy\tCtrl+C",                       IDM_EDITCOPY
  MENUITEM "&Paste\tCtrl+V",                      IDM_EDITPASTE
  MENUITEM "&Delete\tDel",                        IDM_EDITCLEAR
 }

 POPUP "&Help"
 {
  MENUITEM "&Help topics\tF1",                    IDHELP
 }
}


In menu.h you will write

#define IDM_FILENEW         100
#define IDM_FILEOPEN        101

etc

NOT for IDHELP, because this is defined in windows.h

In your main.cpp (or whatever you call it) type this in the class
definitions.

Done.

WndClass.lpszMenuName    = "MAINMENU";
