Title: Adding a menu to a dialog
Post by: Rock Ridge Farm (Larry) on January 10, 2006, 05:23:25 PM

I know I am being stupid here but --- I am learning as I go.
I am trying to add a menu to the listview demo.
I added the following to the onInitDialog section:
   menu m;
   m.BeginMenu();
   m.MenuTitle("&File");
   m.MenuItem("Quit",0,1);
   m.MenuTitle("&Options");
   m.MenuItem("Clear",0,2);
   m.EndMenu();
It compiled but did not display a menu - what did I fail to do?
I assume I failed to associate it properly.

You have to use the SetMenu function of the window class, which dialog inherits from:

Code Select

win.SetMenu(m.Detatch());

Well I guess I need a complete example. I added that then got an error about 'win'.
I moved stuff around but still no luck.
