Modify Main Menu textes

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

   Hi,

I need to change the textes of the main menu, how can I do this?
Because the GetMenu() function is not supported I don't find a solution for it! For the submenus I'm using 

CXTPControl* pControl = pControls->FindControl(xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_NEW, FALSE, TRUE);
if ( pControl != NULL )

{
pControl->SetCaption(szDummy);
}

but I need the ID of the control for this function which is not available for the top menu items. Because my App is supporting multi languages I need to modify the menus on runtime.
Can somebody help my?

	Hello, something like pControls->GetAt(2)->SetCaption("..."); but if your application supports customization - better don't use predefine indexes for this - user can copy/delete some command. I very recommend you use Actions to localize commandbars - see Samples\CommandBars\ActionsSample and Samples\CommandBars\ScribbleMultiLang check scribble sample - if you even copy/delete "File" menu - it will be localized anyway.

	Hai, I have some idea(just what I have understand) about your query, just see the below code // Get a pointer to the command bars object. CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = pMainFrame->GetCommandBars(); if(pCommandBars == NULL) { TRACE0("Failed to create command bars object.\n"); return; // fail to create } // Get the menu bar CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->GetMenuBar(); if(pMenuBar == NULL) { TRACE0("Failed to create menu bar.\n"); return; // fail to create } pMenuBar->LoadMenu(pModifiedMenu,1); -- This pModifiedMenu is what the runtime menu you are going to load. It is working fine for me. Try it out.
