Can't Check Submenu Item

Can't Check Submenu Item

• genius15

  Thanks for the tip, but I think we may disagree.

  I can't say I entirely agree with you comments. In regards to the wrapper function. If I bring item1 and item 2 down to the firt submenu, I can add the check box. Meaning, item1 and item2 is on the same level at "Add Subtract Mutiply Divide Opts."

  If GetDialogMenu was just a wrapper function, then when I bring down item1 and item2 to a lower submenu, it would still mean I couldn't add the check. But in my case, I can.

  Had anyone else got cascading submenus to work correctly yet

  Still trying to figure this bloody thing out. Do I need to call some kind of menu bar update Its almost as if it recieves the call to put a check mark, but nobody tells it to update the appearance.

  Well, I didn't really solve this problem. So I just moved the item1 and item2 to the first level submenu.

  The actually submenu of the submenu is this section of code,

  ......

  POPUP "Tools"

  BEGIN

  POPUP "Options"

  BEGIN

  MENUITEM "Check for Overlapping Points", ID_OPTS_CHECKFORPTOVERLAP

  MENUITEM "Input 3D Measurements", ID_OPTS_INPUT3DMEASUREMENTS

  END

  ......

  bool CDialogCEShared::AddCustomToolbarButtons( CToolBarCtrl* pToolBarCtrl, int& iRightIndex )

  {

  UINT dwDlgMenuID = GetDlgMenuID();

  if ( dwDlgMenuID != 0 )

  {

  m_wndCommandBar.InsertMenuBar( dwDlgMenuID );

  m_hDlgMenu = m_wndCommandBar.GetMenu();

  }

  can I assume then this a is a bug Putting a check in a cascading submenu
  

• jy_lam

  // menu functionality

  HMENU m_hDlgMenu;

  CMenu* GetDialogMenu() { return ( m_hDlgMenu != NULL ) CMenu::FromHandle( m_hDlgMenu ) : NULL; }

  Hi,
  
  This worked for me; I was able to place a check mark before the 2nd entry in the options menu.
  
  TBBUTTON tbb;
  ::SendMessageW(m_wndCommandBar.m_hCommandBar, TB_GETBUTTON,1,(LONG) (LPARAM)&tbb);
  
  TBBUTTONINFO tbbi = {0};
  tbbi.cbSize = sizeof(tbbi);
  tbbi.dwMask = TBIF_LPARAM | TBIF_COMMAND;
  
  ::SendMessageW(m_wndCommandBar.m_hCommandBar,TB_GETBUTTONINFO,
  tbb.idCommand, (LPARAM)&tbbi);
  
  HMENU hMenu = (HMENU)tbbi.lParam;
  
  CMenu* mmenu = CMenu::FromHandle(hMenu);
  CMenu* sub_submenu= mmenu->GetSubMenu(0);
  
  CString str_temp;
  sub_submenu->GetMenuString(1,str_temp,MF_BYPOSITION );
  sub_submenu->CheckMenuItem( 1, MF_CHECKED | MF_BYPOSITION);
  
  For resons why we need to do it like this, refer to these threads.

  GetDialogMenu is a method I created myself. It essential is like GetMenu(), it returns the handle to the main menu bar. I am quite certain that I am getting the correct handle to the submenut of the submenu. I can even use GetMenuString and get the string of the menu item. So I am sure its not some null pointer.

  Any thoughts Has anyone even have such menu system in their system

  Sorry for the delay. I was away from work for some time. Can you post the main steps in the implementation of GetDialogMenu I shall try to create a repro and then get back to you, ASAP.

  Thanks

  Hi,
  How do you assign the value to m_hDlgMenu GetDialogMenu is just a wrapper function and shouldn't effect the functionality.
  
  Thanks
