call menu item from program

[vancouver777]

I am trying to call menu from dialog. That menu's ID is ID_MYMENU. When you click on this button, it will do certain thing. what i am trying to do is to call this ID_MYMENU from dialog and do the same thing as when you click on the ID_MYMENU. I was thinking to use function like SendMessage(ID_MYMENU,**,**) something like this. Please help! Shin

You don't need to call the menu from a button. If you want more than 1 GUI object to be handled by the same code, then you should just edit the message maps to point to the same function.

If your dialog box is modal, it could be dangerous to activate a command of the application. Anyway, here's the syntax: CMainFrame *pFrame = AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd; pFrame->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND, ID_MYMENU); Beware that with SendMessage, the call won't return before the execution of the command.
