Dynamic Menu Creation and Processing...
I have run into a block trying to figure out how I can load specific files from a directory into a menu and click them to launch to files. I have no problems loading my menu up, the problem comes in with the Windows Processing.
Basically I increment an integer to add files sequentially, like so...
Code:
void loadMenu(HMENU hMenu) {
char *RecentDocs;
RecentDocs = GetRecentDocs();
strcat(RecentDocs, "\\*.lnk");
int iMenuCount = 0, bMenu = 0;
HANDLE hFile = 0;
WIN32_FIND_DATA wfs;
hFile = FindFirstFile(RecentDocs, &wfs);
DWORD dwError;
iMenuCount = GetMenuItemCount(hMenu);
while (iMenuCount > -1) {
RemoveMenu(hMenu, iMenuCount, MF_BYPOSITION);
iMenuCount--;
}
if (hFile != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE && hFile != NULL) {
if (IsValidFile(wfs.cFileName) == 1) {
bMenu++;
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, (mnuFiles + bMenu), left(wfs.cFileName, strlen(wfs.cFileName) - 4));
}
while (FindNextFile(hFile, &wfs) != 0) {
if (IsValidFile(wfs.cFileName) == 1) {
bMenu++;
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING, (mnuFiles + bMenu), left(wfs.cFileName, strlen(wfs.cFileName) - 4));
}
}
dwError = GetLastError();
if (dwError == ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES) {
FindClose(hFile);
}
}
if (bMenu == 0) {
AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_GRAYED, 0, "(Empty)");
}
}
mnuFiles above being a globally defined as 460 and the function IsValidFile verifies that the file is not a directory.
The problem is now how I can get the menu text information (so from there I can create the file path and launch the file). Trying to use GetMenuString has caused crashes.
I can't find if the menu id information is maybe in the lparam part of the processing.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
