Hi.

I have two questions about menu in a dialog based
application.

First, how do you add an on command for menu items in a
dialog based app? In other words, without ON_COMMAND how
do you add an event handle for menu item?

Second, I saw two solutions for updating, i.e. enable or
disable, menu items in a dialog based app.

1) CMenu *pMenu = GetMenu(0)

This solutions is exactly like updating contextmenu. Am I
correct? Do you have to call function to redraw the menu?

2) Add an event handle for WM_KICKIDLE

I would like to know the preferred solution for updating
menu items in a dialog based app.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

I don't know about preferred, but you might take a look at MSDN Article Q242577, "PRB:Update Command
UI Handlers Do Not Work for Menu Attached to a Dialog Box".

Okay.  Thanks.

JohnCz of CodeGuru criticized the use of a dialog based
app. He mentioned about using SDI without doc and using a
CFormView. What are you inputs on using CFormView? What
are the advantagesand disadvantages o using CFormView
over a dialog based app and vice versa?
