GetMenu won't work

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

   I have added a dummy menu item to implement a recent analyzers submenu.  I use the recent files which is automatic and that is kewl.
I need to implement a similar submenu but with our own recent list.

I have done the following:

	ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_FILE_RECENTANALYZERS, OnUpdateFileRecentanalyzers)

Where ID_FILE_RECENTANALYZERS is an id in a submenu I want to modify.  I have the modification code but the problem is, I can't get the menu with GetMenu so that it modifies the actual menu.

Here is the other code:

void CMainFrame::OnUpdateFileRecentanalyzers(CCmdUI *pCmdUI)
{
	CMenu *menu = GetMenu();
	// menu is null here
	RecentAnalyzerMenu();
}

I am using CXTPMDIFrameWnd instead of CMDIFrameWnd.  When I create a separate test project in Visual Studio 2008 with CMDIFrameWnd, GetMenu returns the menu.

How do I get the hand to the actual menu if GetMenu is return null with code jocks code?

	Wow, no one answers. Are are there any CodeJock techs here to answer questions?
