Add-Remove Items from Popup Menu

[dedndave]

is it easy to add or remove MENUITEM's from a POPUP menu ?
i created the menu in the resource file
can i modify the contents of the menu in the program ?

i just found this here:

http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=13149.0

but it has no rc example.

Code Select Expand


...
CASE WM_INITDIALOG

        invoke CreatePopupMenu
        mov hMenuPop, eax

        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_STRING, 1001, chr$("Option &1")
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_STRING, 1002, chr$("Option &2")
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_SEPARATOR, 0, 0
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_STRING, 1003, chr$("Option &3")
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_SEPARATOR, 0, 0
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_STRING, 1004, chr$("Option &4")
        invoke AppendMenu, hMenuPop, MF_STRING, 1005, chr$("Option &5")

looks like its not that hard to change menu items =]


and nice example in your masm32 dir:

Code Select Expand

DeleteMenu and InsertMenuItem are the functions you are looking for, Dave.
See also RemoveMenu - almost identical, but if the item has a submenu, the latter remains active.

man - there is a lot to learn just to make a simple window - lol

Dave,

It gets easier once your head stops hurting. (From bashing it against the wall).

i dunno
i got some things working - and i understand most of the functions
i am just unfamiliar with how to do this and how to do that
some of the example code i am looking at is buggish - so, i see at as an example of what not to do - lol
i am going to go back to the beginning and take a hard approach
i want to figure out how to create seperate windows for each element in the client area
well - maybe not the menu
but i will get there   :P

That's good to know.
