MFC and Menus

[Eversman]

Hey, I am trying to get my menu that I created to show up on a dialog box. I can do it on the document based ones, but that was a long time ago, and can't remember how to do it. Does anyone have any tutorials on how to create a basic menu? I have found some tuts with many advanced features and don't need all that stuff. Thanks

Create the menu in Resource Editor. Add it to the dialog window via SetMenu(). Kuphryn

Could you perhaps eleborate on the SetMenu() function a bit?

[valikac]

SetMenu() takes a pointer to a CMenu object. That is it. Declare a CMenu object as the dialog window's member. Kuphryn

ok, so i create a menu, go to the class wizard and it asks me to make a new class, so lets say i name it DEPMenu, I then go to the init function of the dialog and type SetMenu(?); the ? means what exactly goes inside of it?

Am i missing something? If you have the ID of the menu like IDR_MENU1 set it at the Dialog Properties->Menu :)
