The last few days I've been attempting to make a popup window with a menu outside of the WinMain class.
void CMFToolbar::GetQuote()
{
InitCommonControls();
if(m_pBrowser)
{
WNDCLASSEX wc;
HWND hwnd;
MSG Msg;
wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wc.style = 0;
wc.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC)WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL);
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(_Module.GetResourceInstance(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON));
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wc.lpszMenuName = (LPCTSTR)MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYMENU);
wc.lpszClassName = g_szClassName;
wc.hIconSm = (HICON)LoadImage(_Module.GetResourceInstance(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, 0);
if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc))
{
::MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!",
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
}
hwnd = CreateWindowEx(
WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
g_szClassName,
"A Menu",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120,
NULL, NULL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);
if(hwnd == NULL)
{
::MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!", "Error!",
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
}
::ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);
::UpdateWindow(hwnd);
while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}
}
}Everything works fine except for the line
wc.lpszMenuName = (LPCTSTR)MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYMENU);
The popup shows up, same with the icons. But the menu is missing. Anyone have any clue why this is? Thanks!
