How to dynamically load main menu in MDI

[zspirit]

I want to dynamically load the main menu (the new manu is in different language) but I can't get passed the GetMenu() call because it alwasy return 0. Here is the code that I am running.

void CMainFrame::OnButtonGerman()
{
   CMenu *pMenuCurrent = GetMenu();

   // has the menu changed?
   // m_hMenuDefault is the default menu resource for this frame see AFXWIN.H
   if(pMenuCurrent->m_hMenu != m_hMenuDefault)
   {
	   // Destroy the "New" menu and delete the resource
	   // We, after all created it!
	   pMenuCurrent->DestroyMenu();
	   delete pMenuCurrent;
   }

   // Load our new men from another resource now
   m_pMenuNew.LoadMenu(IDR_MAINFRAME2);
   
   // Displauy the new menu
   SetMenu(m_pMenuNew);
}

My problem is that my pMenuCurrent is always zero so I can't get anywhere. I googled this quite a bit and everyone is usins GetMenu() to access the current menu but I always 0 for it. What could I be missing?

Note: In this example I am just reloading the menu from a different resource. Once I have this working I will load the new resource from my satellite dll for that language.

Update:
This happens only in VC2010. I tried same in VC2005 and it works there.
