Hi Tyler: Why areyou using c++ code, are you using a doalog-basxed applicationsand drawing hte menu-bar yourself? why not just use an rc file anddo it the easy way.

Importance: Low Hello list, I'm working with a gui that requires a menubar. I created a global handle that holds all my menubar items, and then added them with the MF_POPUP flag. I'm adding items to the menu handles in turn. trying to keep the tree concept in mind. I'm not able to get this working, for some reason. Is there a bit of code that demonstrates how to do this? Would really be appriciated. Fought with this for a couple hours last night. Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Vertigo head coder.
