Localization in Menu Bar

[chitrack]

Hi All,

I am doing localization for my project so i have created a satelite dll and added all dialog control labels, menu labels and error msgs are added to the resource dll. I am able to do the dynamic label loading for everything else other than menu bar. Can i do the same for menus or not? I had a doubt as am passing the menu id to CDocMultiTemplate constructor, I will not be able to change the same after creating/opening a document. Please clarify.

Thanks in advance

To modify the menu text at run-time you can call CMenu::ModifyMenu.
Example:

   CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu();
   if(NULL != pMenu)
   {
      pMenu->ModifyMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION, -1, _T("Baba Safta"));
      pMenu->ModifyMenu(1, MF_BYPOSITION, -1, _T("Baba Surda"));
      pMenu->ModifyMenu(ID_TEST_TEST, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_TEST_TEST, _T("Baba Novac"));
      ::DrawMenuBar(m_hWnd);
   }

Can i do the same for menus or not?

FYI: if you use a product like Visual Localize , you don't have to worry about storing the menu strings. It can translate a standard menu resource.

Thanks for your replies!

I am using ModifyMenu function only, I could set all the menu items with the text what ever i wanted to but the document loses it icon on its left side and the close/max/min buttons on its right side. Hope i explained properly.
