Changing top Menu titles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was woundering how to change the title of the top-menu items (File, Edit, View, Help...)
I know the code for changing items included in the diffrent menus:

 m_wndMenuBar.GetMenu()->GetSubMenu(0)->ModifyMenu(ID_F ILE_NEW, MF_BYCOMMAND, ID_FILE_NEW,"Nouveau");
I have tried the following but with no succes:

m_wndMenuBar.GetMenu()->ModifyMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION, MF_POPUP , "Fichier");
Can a top menu title be changed or we haft to destroy and recreate the menu?

	My menu is a CXTMenuBar declared like this: m_wndMenuBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD \| WS_VISIBLE \| CBRS_TOP \| CBRS_TOOLTIPS \| CBRS_FLYBY \| CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) \|\| !m_wndMenuBar.LoadMenuBar(IDR_GUI_VITYPE)) The menu is created correclty. I tried also this with no success: m_wndMenuBar.GetMenu()->ModifyMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION, 0 , "Fichier"); I want the first popup "File" to be renamed "Fichier". I looked on other Visual C++ forums for this answer and the above line of code is supposed to work. Is there something different when the menu is a CXTMenuBar?

	Do you really need to do this dynamically ? Why not just edit the .rc file ?

	Yes, I need to do it dynamically. It's for language translation on the fly using a text file. This file contains all the menu file names in diffenrent languages.
