To insert a new item:
CMenu* m; m = AfxGetApp()->GetMainWnd()->GetMenu(); m = m->GetSubMenu(2);//change this to whatever (zero-based index). m->AppendMenu(MF_ENABLED,253,"new item");//change the second parameter to something you like. and the third one too.When the menu item is clicked, you need a menu-command-range hander in the message-map macro in the .cpp file:ON_COMMAND_RANGE(200,400,OnMyMenu)//change the first and second parameter to the range you will provide in the second param to AppendMenu()The implementation will be:void CMySdiView::OnMyMenu(UINT nItem) { }Now nItem contains the second parameter you gave in AppendMenu(). So you know which one was clicked. One thing to note is that you must have at least a sub-item in the menu in the resource. Let it be a separator. When no sub-items are present, it gives a headache. this is this. -

first u have to get a handle to the menu or create ur own HMENU hMenu = CreateMenu(); HMENU hPMenu = CreatePopupMenu(); AppendMenu(hMenu,MF_STRING|MF_POPUP,(UINT_PTR)hPMenu,favmenuTxt); AppendMenu(hPMenu,MF_STRING,favID,favTxt); also in ur message process u need to handle for the WM_COMMAND message with (i think) wParam being the command ID
