I have been working with winapi just a little bit, making a project with owner draw on menus. When I called GetMenuItemInfo
, it sets the text of the menu item, but not the fType UINT variable flags.
Currently I have declared:
MenuItem->fMask = MIIM_TYPE
And MSDN says:
MIIM_TYPE Retrieves or sets the fType and dwTypeData members.
I don't know If I got confused with the MIIM_TYPE flag.
Here is my code:
void SetOwnerDrawMenu(HMENU * menu)
{
MENUIF * menu_item_information;
HMENU sub_menu_ocational;
UINT uId_menuitem;
int nMenuCountItems = GetMenuItemCount(*menu);
MENUITEMINFO * MenuItem = (MENUITEMINFO*)malloc(sizeof(MENUITEMINFO));
for(int i=0;i<nMenuCountItems;i++)
{
menu_item_information = (MENUIF*)malloc(sizeof(MENUIF));
menu_item_information->isSeparator=false;
menu_item_information->max_width=0;
sub_menu_ocational = 0;
uId_menuitem = GetMenuItemID(*menu,i);
memset(&MenuItem,0,sizeof(MenuItem));
MenuItem = (MENUITEMINFO*)malloc(sizeof(MENUITEMINFO));
MenuItem->cbSize = sizeof(MenuItem);
MenuItem->fMask = MIIM_TYPE;
MenuItem->cch = MAX_ODM_CCH;
MenuItem->dwTypeData = menu_item_information->szItemText;
GetMenuItemInfo(*menu,uId_menuitem,FALSE,MenuItem);
UINT final_flags = MF_BYPOSITION | MF_OWNERDRAW;
if( ( MFT_SEPARATOR & MenuItem->fType ) == MFT_SEPARATOR )
{
final_flags |= MF_SEPARATOR;
menu_item_information->isSeparator = true;
}
else
{
// Not important stuff
}
sub_menu_ocational = GetSubMenu(*menu,i);
if(sub_menu_ocational!=NULL)
{
ModifyMenu(*menu,i,final_flags,0,(LPCTSTR)menu_item_information);
// We got a submenu, repeat this operation
SetOwnerDrawMenu(&sub_menu_ocational);
}
else
{
ModifyMenu(*menu,i,final_flags,0,(LPCTSTR)menu_item_information);
}
}
}
I am inserting the menus with the InsertMenu
function:
InsertMenu(tid_cmenu,0,MF_BYPOSITION | MF_SEPARATOR,0,NULL);
InsertMenu(tid_cmenu,0, MF_BYPOSITION | MF_STRING, TID_EXIT, "Exit");
Exactly, why the GetMenuItemInfo
is not retriving the fType?
