Menu Problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my menu. It somehow displays my menu strings in another language and I don't know why.

Here's my code:

Code:

---

//resource.h
#define ID_FILE_SYNCHRONIZE                        4000
#define ID_FILE_UNSYNCHRONIZE      4001

---

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include "resources.h"

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ;

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                                        PSTR szCMLine, int iCmdShow)
{
        static TCHAR szAppName[] = TEXT ("WindowOneApplication");
        HWND hwnd;
        MSG        msg;
        WNDCLASS wndclass;

        wndclass.style                = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
        wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
        wndclass.cbClsExtra        = 0;
        wndclass.cbWndExtra = sizeof(long);
        wndclass.hInstance        = hInstance;
        wndclass.hIcon                = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
        wndclass.hCursor        = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
        wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject (WHITE_BRUSH);
        wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL;
        wndclass.lpszClassName = szAppName;

        if (!RegisterClass (&wndclass))
        {
                MessageBox (NULL, TEXT ("This program requires Windows 95/98/NT"),
                                        szAppName, MB_ICONERROR);
                return 0;
        }

        hwnd = CreateWindow(szAppName,               
                                                TEXT("Program 1"),
                                                WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,       
                                                CW_USEDEFAULT,               
                                                CW_USEDEFAULT,               
                                                400,               
                                                300,               
                                                NULL,                               
                                                NULL,                               
                                                hInstance,                       
                                                NULL);                               

        ShowWindow(hwnd, iCmdShow);
        UpdateWindow(hwnd);

        while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)){
                TranslateMessage(&msg);
                DispatchMessage(&msg);
        }

        return msg.wParam;
}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
        HMENU hMenu, hSubMenu;
        HDC                hdc;
        PAINTSTRUCT ps;
        RECT        rect;

        switch (message){
                case WM_CREATE:
                        PlaySound(TEXT("hellowin.wav"), NULL, SND_FILENAME | SND_ASYNC);
                        return 0;

                case WM_PAINT:
                        hMenu = CreateMenu();

                        hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
                        //AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, ID_FILE_NEW, "&New");
                        AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_ENABLED, ID_FILE_SYNCHRONIZE, "&Sychronize");
                        AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_ENABLED, ID_FILE_SYNCHRONIZE, "&UNSychronize");
                        AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP, (UINT)hSubMenu, "&Mode");

                        SetMenu(hwnd, hMenu);
                        //paint
                        hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);

                        GetClientRect(hwnd, &rect);

                        DrawText(hdc, TEXT("Hello, Windows"), -1, &rect,
                                        DT_SINGLELINE | DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER);

                       
                        EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
                        return 0;
                case WM_DESTROY:
                        PostQuitMessage(0);
                        return 0;
        }

        return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

What does it output, exactly? Does it look like a different language, or is it perhaps just a buffer overrun?

Where did you get that code from? Or did you write it yourself?

I'm not a Windows programmer so I'm afraid I can't really help you any more that this . . .

Here's an image of my problem:

You've probably got the wrong code page in your resource file. I believe it should be 1252. Another way to fix this is to load your resource file into a GUI resource compiler such as the one found in VC6, go to your string table and right click on the string and change the language to English

arrite thanks
