MFC, Dynamically change caption of a menu

Dynamically change caption of a menu

Author	Message
Philippe Bouche #1 / 5	Dynamically change caption of a menu Hello people. I would like to dynamically change the caption of a menu of a dialog, i.e.: what will be written at the bottom of the screen on mouse over that menu item. Is there a function like "SetMenuCaptionText()" ? Thanks a lot for any info. btw: if you have any hints about doing that for tooltips for a toolbar, it would be nice. I'm looking MFC MSDN but find nothing yet.

Sam Hobb #3 / 5	Dynamically change caption of a menu Dialogs normally do not have menus, and since you say "mouse over that menu item", you should clarify what you mean by menu. If the menu is the same type of thing that normal frame windows have, then just state that explicitly. When you say "bottom of the screen" do you mean a status bar? If not, then clarify that too.

Shikha Gupt #4 / 5	Dynamically change caption of a menu try using strings from strings table and in the status bar assign the string to the mouse move event of the menu Quote: > Hello people. > I would like to dynamically change the caption of a menu of a dialog, i.e.: > what will be written at the bottom of the screen on mouse over that menu > item. > Is there a function like "SetMenuCaptionText()" ? > Thanks a lot for any info. > btw: if you have any hints about doing that for tooltips for a toolbar, it > would be nice.

Philippe Bouche #5 / 5	Dynamically change caption of a menu Ok sorry folks, I've not been very clear ;-) By caption, I was meaning not what is written in the menu itself, but what is implicitly written on the status bar by the "prompt" field in the menu's field property. I would have been more clear to say "SetMenuPromptText()" or maybe "SetMenuStatusBarLabel()". My problem is that I have to dynamically change what will be written on the status bar, and I would like to know how to modify what is written in the "prompt" menu property at run time. And, in the same idea, change the tooltip's text that are comming from a toolbar, and finally the "prompt" as for the menu. Well, it could have been three post for those questions, but I think at least the two prompt's solution will be not too different.
