Re: [Dev-C++] Creating menu for windows

[Kevin W. <ke...@me...>]

Hello Ameer,

Try this code in your resource file:

#include <windows.h>
100 MENU
BEGIN
        POPUP "&File"
        BEGIN
             MENUITEM "&Open", 101
             MENUITEM "&Save", 102
             MENUITEM "E&xit", 103
        END
END

and in your winmain function:
...
    wincl.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(100); /* Menu ID 100 */
...

and the window procedure:

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;
           case WM_COMMAND:
           {
                switch (wParam)
                {
                    case 101:
                        MessageBox(hwnd,"File_Open clicked","Not
implemented",MB_OK);
                        break;
                    case 102:
                        MessageBox(hwnd,"File_Save clicked","Not
implemented",MB_OK);
                        break;
                    case 103:
                        PostMessage(hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
                        break;
                }
           }
           default:                   /* for messages that we don't deal
with */
               return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }
    return 0;
}


That should work!

Kevin.

Dear Friend,


I could build the resource file created for creating a menu for the Window
created using Window Application, using DEV-C++ 4. I could edit the resource
file and it is given below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------

600 MENU
BEGIN
        POPUP "&File"
        BEGIN
                MENUITEM "&Open", 601
                MENUITEM "&Save", 602
                MENUITEM "&Exit", 603
        END

        POPUP "&Open"
        BEGIN
        END

        POPUP "&Save"
        BEGIN
        END

        POPUP "&Exit"
        BEGIN
        END

END

0 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "C:/DEV-C++/Icon/MAINICON.ICO"


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------I have edited the resources file rsrc.rc for including a menu
item File with three sub items Open,Save and Exit.
When i compiled the project after including this resources file to the
project I am getting error"Out of environment space,Out of environment
space, Id: cannot open -Istdc++:
No such file or directory."
Would you please tell me , in step by step, how to created menus for the
Window Applications, using Dev C++.

Thank u
