Problems with ModifyMenu

Hi all,

Environment: Visual C++ 1.52/Windows 3.1

I am using an MDI application with a normal CMenu attached to it. I changed
one menu item with ModifyMenu after I got to the menu with GetMenu().
However, it losses the attachment with the rest of the application, meaning,
it leaves the status bar empty instead of showing the string attached to the
menu item and more than that, it does not run the function attached to the
item with ON_COMMAND. It seems to me, that because I modefied the menu item,
it does not recognize the changed item and the compiler does not attach the
menu item to it's original ID number in the string table. How can I attach
the modified item to it's original ID, so the related ON_COMMAND function
will work and the related string ID will appear in the status bar?

Hi,

If u see the syntax for ModifyMenu() :
BOOL ModifyMenu( UINT nPosition, UINT nFlags,
   UINT nIDNewItem = 0, LPCTSTR lpszNewItem = NULL );

the 3rd argument nIDNewItem may be used to specify
the CommandID of the modified menu item. nPosition
by default is used to specify the CommandID of the
existing menu item, in which case, by specifying
nIDNewItem to be the same as nPosition, you may map
your modified menu item to the same ID and hence
the same command handler.

     Did you call DrawMenuBar after you modified the menu?
