Hi,

I have used the follwing code for Menu.

--------------------------------------------
int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
//Using CXTPCommandBar -->Derived from CWnd

CXTPCommandBar* pMenuBarCmdBar = pCommandBars->SetMenu(_T ("Menu Bar"), IDR_MAINFRAME);

if(pMenuBarCmdBar == NULL)
{
TRACE0("Failed to create menu bar.\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}

HMENU hMenu = GetMenu()->GetSafeHmenu();

//Problem: [Unable to get the HANDLE of Menu]

}//End of CMainFrame::OnCreate()
--------------------------------------------

Trying to get HANDLE of Menu in "OnCreate" using following code,

HMENU hMenu = GetMenu()->GetSafeHmenu();

But I am unable to get HANDLE.

What is the way to get HANDLE of Menu????

Thanks,
KumarCJ

Hi,

CommandBars don't hold HMENU.

To modify Menu/Toolbars use CXTPControls methods.

f.e

pMenuBar->GetControls()->Add(..)

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I do not want to add or modify the Menu.

I need to assign Menu Handle to diffrent shared document template such as Spliter Window, BookView etc...

Below code is defind in XYZ.h, for diffrent shared document template

CSharedDocTemplate* m_pSplitWindowTempl; // Split Window
CSharedDocTemplate* m_pBookTempl; // Book view

The below given code is in OnCreate() of MainFrame.cpp, where we are assigning the Menu handle to diffrent shared document template.

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{

CXTPMenuBar* pMenuBar = pCommandBars->SetMenu(_T("Menu Bar"), IDR_MAINFRAME);

HMENU hMenu = GetMenu()->GetSafeHmenu();

[As you told, since CommandBar dose not hold HMENU, We are not getting hMenu]

CXYZApp * pApp = (CXYZApp *)AfxGetApp();

[But we need to assign handle of menu for diffrent shared document template.]

pApp->m_pSplitWindowTempl->m_hMenuShared = hMenu;
pApp->m_pBookTempl->m_hMenuShared = hMenu;

}

Since we are not getting "hMenu", we are unable to assign it to diffrent shared document template.

How we can assign handle of menu to diffrent shared document template.

Thanks,

KumarCJ
