How to show a menu?

[BoudewijnEctor]

Hi, I've created an mfc dialog-based app, and a menu-resource. But I'd like the menu to appear in the dialog (at the moment it isn't appearing). I know I have to call some kind of CWnd::*** function, but which? In other words: I have a menu resource, and I want to use it by displaying the menu in the GUI! This is the most simple kind of menu, but I can't show it :confused:

Put this code in you OnInitDiaog()

CMenu menu;

menu.LoadMenu(ID_OF_MENU);

SetMenu(&Menu);

menu.Detach(); // CDialog will clean up for us in its OnDestroy()
DrawMenuBar(); // make sure the UI is upto date

Declare an object of CMenu in the CDialog derived class CMenu m_Menu; In the overridden OnInitDialog member function call - m_Menu.LoadMenu(

); //load menu. SetMenu(&m_Menu); // set menu for the dialog window. This should work. :-O
