MenuBarMDIMenus Item takes what?

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

   What should be passed to the Item property of the MenuBarMDIMenus collection.  Nothing seems to work.  Using the CommandBars\VB\MDISample none of the following attempts work.

    Dim MDIMenus As MenuBarMDIMenus
    Set MDIMenus = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.MDIMenus
    Dim MDIMenu As MenuBarMDIMenu
    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Add(100, "Document", "Document")
    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Add(101, "Image", "Image")

    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Item(100)
    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Item(1)
    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Item(0)
    Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Item("Document")

In fact the following code never displays a message box

    Set MDIMenu = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim Index As Long
    For Index = 0 To 65535
        Set MDIMenu = MDIMenus.Item(Index)
        If Not MDIMenu Is Nothing Then
            MsgBox MDIMenu.Caption + " " + CStr(Index)
        End If
    Next Index

The documentation says it should be the Id of the MDIMenu but the Id does not work.  This in and of itself is strange since the other collections take the standard 1 based index.   Using the Id makes it difficult to enumerate the list using the Item property since every part of the application must know in advance what the Id's are.

	I look forward to the fix, in the mean time I have an acceptable work-around by getting the IEnumVARIANT interface... inline IEnumVARIANT* GetNewEnum(IDispatch* pIDispatch) { IUnknown* pUnk = NULL; _com_dispatch_method(pIDispatch, DISPID_NEWENUM, DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET, VT_UNKNOWN, (void)&pUnk, NULL); return CComQIPtr<IEnumVARIANT>(pUnk).Detach(); } XtremeCommandBars::ICommandBar GetMenuBarById(long MenuBarId) { CComPtr<IMenuBarMDIMenus> pIMDIMenus = m_spCommandBars->GetActiveMenuBar()->GetMDIMenus(); CComPtr<IEnumVARIANT> pIEnum(GetNewEnum(pIMDIMenus)); if(pIEnum) { long nCount = pIMDIMenus->GetCount(); CComVariant* pVariants = new CComVariant[nCount]; ULONG Fetched = 0; HRESULT hr = pIEnum->Next(nCount, pVariants, &Fetched); if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) { for(long Index = 0; Index < nCount; Index++) {
