Inserting Menu Items

[Ganymed]

Hi!

I try to insert a menu item into the playlist editors menu.
So far it works, but the item is enserted into the first menu I select.
If I first select the "File" menu, it appears in the file menu, when I first select the "Manage Playlist" menu, it appears there etc.
I do catch the WM_INITMENUPOPUP message, but there seems to be no way to find out what menu has been selected, is it?

Comments and Suggestions welcome :-)

look at GetMenuItemId(..) (is a Win32 api) and use that to check on what item is say at the start of the given popup menu

You must follow DrO's tip before Nullsoft gives us more info about their menus, like extending the IPC_GET_HMENU ipc to allow access to playlist editor menus as well.

Hej,
I need to know something, and i hope that you will know what i'm trying to ask,because i'm not writing in my language.
I'm trying to insert "myPlugin" in to systemMenu.I have tried this way:
CMenu* pSystemMenu=GetSystemMenu(FALSE)
pSystemMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);
pSystemMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING,ID_MY_PLUGIN,_T("&myPlugin"));

but it doesn't work.Can somebody help me.For now i'm using MFC,becase i haven't learn API yet,and it looks much easyer to me.
Soory my english

Looks like alesek is Swedish, though he wont tell us in his profile.

Du måste bara prova hårdare, kille!

Solution:
CMenu* pSystemMenu=::GetSystemMenu(plugin.hwndParent, FALSE);
pSystemMenu->AppendMenu(MF_SEPARATOR);
pSystemMenu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING,ID_MY_PLUGIN,_T("&myPlugin"));

Use "::" in front to use the raw Win32 API version of GetSystemMenu(), and not the method of your CWnd/CDlg or whatever. Using ::GetSystemMenu() let you put in the handle of the window you want to get the the system menu from.

It's very easy to forget, trust me I know

I've updated my profile
You were very wrong,well at list it starts on S
I've tried your solution,but it returns me an error : cannot convert from 'struct HMENU__ *' to 'class CMenu *'
I think i'll read some books to learn win32 programming better.

PS: It doesn't wont to display my country.I'm from Slovenia

Oh sorry do this:

code:


mnu = new CMenu;

mnu->Attach(::GetSystemMenu(plugin.hwndParent, FALSE));

// Do things with mnu and then delete mnu;
