add custom menu item


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to add some menu item of my own. I didn't figure out what's wrong

with the following code:

void AddMenu()

{

IToolBarPtr pMenu;

pMenu=m_pChartFX->MenuBarObj;

pMenu->AddItems (1,6);

pMenu->Visible = TRUE;

pMenu->Commands ->Item[6]->Text = "My Menu";

pMenu->Item[6]->CommandID = CFX_ID_EXPORTFILE;

}

For the command id, could I add any command id that was not defined by ChartFX pre-defined command? If I could, how to associate that command id with some function I developed?

Thanks,

There are two objects you need to deal with: The command list and the Menu

object.

A menu is a collection of commands in the command list.

You can add a Custom command or a predefined command to the menu (or

toolbar)..

pMenu->AddItems (1,6);

Adds 1 menu item in position 6.

You then need to specify what that menu item is by doing:

pMenu->Item[6]->CommandID = CommandID;

CommandID can be any of the predefined commands (e.g. CFX_ID_EXPORTFILE) or

a custom command. To create a custom command:

CommandID = 1;

pMenu->Commands->AddCommand(CommandID);

pMenu->Commands->Item[CommandID]->Text = "My Menu";

Then you will receive a UserCommand event when this menu item is selected.

The CommandID being 1.

Thanks for your help.

I'm working on handle the UserCommand event myself. Could anyone tell me the

dispatch id for the UserCommand ? (Or Where I can find the dispatch ID for

all the event?) I need them in the definition of event sink map as follows:

ON_EVENT(CCFXChildWindow, IDC_CHARTFX, ?/*UserCommand */,UserCommand, VTS_I4

VTS_I4 VTS_PI2)

If I need to pop up a new dialog box when my menu item was selected, could I

use the following event handle function?

void CCFXChildWindow::UserCommand(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam,int nRes)

{

CMyDialog pDlg;

pDlg.DoModal();

}
