I have a SplitWindow with two panes. One of the Panes holds a shell
window with no border. I have added my menu to the Splitwindow. I
tried adding self:menu:SetAutoUpdate(3), but this isn't working. I
gues it is trying to add the menu item to the shell, which doesn't
exist.

How can I manage this myself? I could but this code in my code where a
add new windows to my araray of child windows.

This menu is handled automatically by windows and it seems that it expects it
to be owned by the shell. You can try the following to see if this works:

Subclass your Menu Assign in the splitwindow and add:

SendMessage( ;
SELF:oShellWindow:Handle(4), ;
WM_MDISETMENU, ;
0, ;
LONG( _CAST, GetSubmenu( SELF:Menu:Handle(), ;
SELF:Menu:GetAutoUpdate() ) ) )
SendMessage( ;
SELF:oShellWindow:Handle(4), ;
WM_MDIREFRESHMENU, ;
0, ;
0L )

Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't. Give it a try. If it starts working and
later on stops you will have to intecept WM_MDI... messages in your shell
window.

I'm looking to teach myself programming techniques, not purchase a
solution

I resolved it. I am using FabOutlookBar, and since I only want one
instance of a window open at a time. When I press the button to open a
window it scans aChildWindows and if it exists, make it the active
window otherwise it opens the window. This way I don't need the
autoupdate to the menu.
