CMenu::LoadMenuIndirect

Loads a resource from a menu template in memory and attaches it to the CMenu object.

BOOL LoadMenuIndirect(
   const void* lpMenuTemplate 
);

Parameters

  • lpMenuTemplate
    Points to a menu template (which is a single MENUITEMTEMPLATEHEADER structure and a collection of one or more MENUITEMTEMPLATE structures). For more information on these two structures, see the Windows SDK.

Return Value

Nonzero if the menu resource was loaded successfully; otherwise 0.

Remarks

A menu template is a header followed by a collection of one or more MENUITEMTEMPLATE structures, each of which may contain one or more menu items and pop-up menus.

The version number should be 0.

The mtOption flags should include MF_END for the last item in a pop-up list and for the last item in the main list. See the AppendMenu member function for other flags. The mtId member must be omitted from the MENUITEMTEMPLATE structure when MF_POPUP is specified in mtOption.

The space allocated for the MENUITEMTEMPLATE structure must be large enough for mtString to contain the name of the menu item as a null-terminated string.

Before exiting, an application must free system resources associated with a menu if the menu is not assigned to a window. An application frees a menu by calling the DestroyMenu member function.

Example

// CMainFrame::OnLoadMenuIndirect() is a menu command handler for 
// CMainFrame class, which in turn is a CFrameWnd-derived class. It 
// shows how to use LoadMenuIndirect() to load a resource from a 
// menu template in memory.
void CMainFrame::OnLoadMenuIndirect() 
{
   // For simplicity, allocate 500 bytes from stack. May use 
   // GlobalAlloc() to allocate memory bytes from heap.
   BYTE milist[500];
   memset(milist, 0, 500);
   int bytes_left = sizeof(milist);

   // Fill up the MENUITEMTEMPLATEHEADER structure.
   MENUITEMTEMPLATEHEADER* mheader = (MENUITEMTEMPLATEHEADER*) milist;
   mheader->versionNumber = 0;
   mheader->offset = 0;

   int bytes_used = sizeof(MENUITEMTEMPLATEHEADER);
   bytes_left -= bytes_used;

   // Add the following menu items to menu bar:
   // File     Edit
   //   Exit     Copy
   //            Paste
   bytes_used += AddMenuItem(milist + bytes_used, bytes_left, L"&File", 0, 
      TRUE, FALSE);
   bytes_left -= bytes_used;
   bytes_used += AddMenuItem(milist + bytes_used, bytes_left, L"E&xit",

   bytes_used += AddMenuItem(milist + bytes_used, bytes_left, L"&Edit", 0, 
      TRUE, TRUE);

      ID_EDIT_PASTE, FALSE, TRUE);
   bytes_left -= bytes_used;

   // Load resource from a menu template in memory.
   ASSERT(m_IndiMenu.LoadMenuIndirect(milist));

   // Remove and destroy old menu
   SetMenu(NULL);
   ::DestroyMenu(m_hMenuDefault);

   // Add new menu.
   SetMenu(&m_IndiMenu);

   // Assign default menu
   m_hMenuDefault = m_IndiMenu.m_hMenu;

// or command item) to the specified menu template.

//                    IsPopup is TRUE.
//    IsPopup       - TRUE for popup menu (or submenu); FALSE for command 
//                    item
//    LastItem      - TRUE if MenuString is the last item for the popup; 
//                    FALSE otherwise.
