Hi all,

I'm trying tp dynamically change my menubar on the fly in my
application.
I found the message SHCMBM_SETSUBMENU in MSDN document.
But I'm not sure how to use this API, everything I've tried just
doesn't work.
And I can't find any example about this API in Internet.

Is here anybody have experience of thes API, and can tell me the right
usage of this API?
I'm working on a Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone.

Thanks!

- William

I found this message used in the LISTVIEW sample that came with my
copy of the SDK for Pocket PC 2003.

I use a rather different approach to making changes. First, right
after I call SHCreateMenuBar, I fetch the HWND and HMENU from the
SHMENUBAR structure, and store them for use later. When I want to make
changes later, I can use the stored values to work on the top-level
menu, or get the appropriate value for a sub menu using the method I
described in my 14 Aug 06 contribution to a thread called " Deactivate
menu items in WM5" in microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded.vc. I then
use either the CommandBar_ functions (CommandBar_InsertMenubar, etc.)
or "regular" functions (AppendMenu, etc.).

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your reply.

I just found another way to make it work.

I defined a set of menubar in my resource file.
When I need to change my menubar, I just simply destroy orginal
menubar with DestroyWindow(), and setup a new SHMENUBARINFO ,with
another resource id, then call SHCreateMenuBar() again to create a
whole new menubar.
It looks working fine.

FYI.
