Change menu name on run-time

[whofmans]

Hello! How can i change a menu name on runtime. With the menu-name i mean by example "File", "Edit" or "Help". Submenu's is not a problem for me because they have a ResourceID, but the menu's that i want to change on runtime does not have that, or i can't find them? Thanks for helping me.

I haven't tried this but it should work.. where 0 is the first item on the menu like "File". CMenu *pMenu = GetMenu(); CString csMnuStr; pMenu->GetMenuString(0, csMnuStr, MF_BYPOSITION); pMenu->ModifyMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION, 0, "New Text"); DrawMenuBar(); Rob Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door!

Thanks! Now automaticly all the menu-item texts goes through a translate function. So that my program works with different language's. // TRANSLATE THE MENUS! CMenu *pMenu = GetMenu(); CMenu *pSubMenu; CMenu *pSubSubMenu; CString csMnuStr; for(int i=0; pMenu->GetMenuState(i, MF_BYPOSITION) != -1; i++) // MENU { if(pMenu->GetMenuString(i, csMnuStr, MF_BYPOSITION) < 1) // empty string continue; pMenu->ModifyMenu(i, MF_BYPOSITION, 0, theApp.translate(csMnuStr)); pSubMenu = pMenu->GetSubMenu(i); // Get menu items if(pSubMenu == NULL) // Submenu does not exist continue; for(int j=0; pSubMenu->GetMenuState(j, MF_BYPOSITION) != -1; j++) // SUBMENU { if(pSubMenu->GetMenuString(j, csMnuStr, MF_BYPOSITION) < 1) // empty string continue; pSubMenu->ModifyMenu(j, MF_BYPOSITION, 0, theApp.translate(csMnuStr)); pSubSubMenu = pSubMenu->GetSubMenu(j); // get sub menu items if(pSubSubMenu == NULL) // SubSubMenu does not exist continue; for(int k=0; pSubSubMenu->GetMenuState(k, MF_BYPOSITION) != -1; k++) // SUB-SUBMENU { if(pSubSubMenu->GetMenuString(k, csMnuStr, MF_BYPOSITION) < 1) // empty string continue; pSubSubMenu->ModifyMenu(k, MF_BYPOSITION, 0, theApp.translate(csMnuStr)); } } } DrawMenuBar();
