Dynamic Popup Menus

[sford]

I am trying to create a context menu that lists all the buttons for each toolbar using popup submenus... something like this...

File>
___New
___Open
___Save
Edit>
___Cut
___Copy
___Paste
etc...

I create a popup menu like this...

CMenu menu;
VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_TOOLBAR_POPUP_MENU));

// pPopupMenu is the highest level of my context menu...
CMenu* pPopupMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
if (pPopupMenu)
{
	CString cstr;
	m_wndFileToolBar.GetWindowText(cstr);
	bool bSuccess = pPopupMenu->InsertMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_ENABLED, MF_POPUP, cstr);
	CMenu* pSubMenu1 = pPopupMenu->GetSubMenu(0);

///////////////// pSubMenu1 is NULL at this point ... What am I doing wrong???
}

I am trying to get a pointer to the newly created popup "submenu" so I can add menu items to it to represent each button from the toolbar...

I figured it out...

CMenu menu;
VERIFY(menu.LoadMenu(IDR_TOOLBAR_POPUP_MENU));

// pPopupMenu is the highest level of my context menu...
CMenu* pPopupMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
if (pPopupMenu)
{
	// create the new popup menu
	CMenu menuFile;
	VERIFY(menuFile.CreatePopupMenu());

	// add items to the new popup menu
	menuFile.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, ID_TOOLBAR_BUTTON_BASE, (LPCTSTR)"New");

// ...etc...

	// get the title of the new popup menu
	CString cstr;
	m_wndFileToolBar.GetWindowText(cstr);

	// add the NEW popup menu to the higherlevel popup menu
	pPopupMenu->AppendMenu(MF_POPUP, (UINT) menuFile.m_hMenu, cstr);

	// display the menu
	pPopupMenu->TrackPopupMenu(TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, pMsg->pt.x, pMsg->pt.y, this);
}

Thanks Victor! I am not sure how I go about marking the thread as Resolved...

Unfortunately, the Thread Tools menu item only pulls down FOUR items...

There is no "Mark Thread Resolved" item in the pull-down

Hmmm, it seems to be a bug in a "new" forum version after the last update
OK, I'll report it to the Admin.
