Creating an Internet Explorer-style Menu Bar

Hello...

Somebody tried to make the program shown in this URL?

I created the interfaces until the part that deals with the "Message Processing for Menu Hot-Tracking"...

If somebody already implemented this, helps me showing parts of the code.

Any aid is useful... Always...

bye

I use C Language and Win32 API...

My bigger difficulty is the language, I do not say English, and I got few progressos.

My code:

Code:

---

/*resource.h*/
#include <windows.h>
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0501
#include <commctrl.h>

#define ID_MAINMENU  1000
#define ID_MENU1    1001
#define ID_MENU2    1002
#define ID_MENU3    1003

#define ID_TESTE1    1004
#define ID_TESTE2    1005
#define ID_TESTE3    1006

Code:

I appreciate any aid.

I am having problems with the functions SetWindowsHookEx() and CallNextHookEx(). Where I insert this in my code?

Hello,

I wondered, did you make any progress with this issue. I am trying to implement the same thing and have the same problem, though I have foudn your code very useful so far!!!

Thanks,

Marc
