Are menus windows?

[jj2007]

I found an interesting code here claiming that it is possible to subclass menus by hooking their creating in the main window's WM_CREATE handler.
The hook works, technically speaking, but the menu windows handle does not show up :(

Code Select Expand

invoke GetCurrentThreadId ; shorter than GetWindowThreadProcessId, hWnd, 0
invoke SetWindowsHookEx, WH_CALLWNDPROC, CbMenu, 0, eax


Any ideas? The attachment has a useMB switch on top - set to 0 if you want to stick with QEditor. There is a cdt_MB.exe in the attachment showing what the deb 4 macro does. Sample output:

Code Select Expand

the only possibility that pops into mind is that the menu's window handle may not be the same as the menu handle  :P
the OS treats window handles differently than menu handles
the caption bar seems to be the same way

if you enumerate windows using the menu handle, you may not get it

[dedndave]

have you looked at the source code for xxControls ?

indeed. hMenu is the menu handle, wMenu is the menu's window handle obtained with FindWindow.
