GetMenuInfo

[Psych]

I've been pulling my hair out for whole day thinking that my coding was wrong, only to find that GetMenuInfo does not work properly with image menus. As far as I am aware it is only the ability to get the menu text that fails, Getmenustring also fails with Image menus.

Does anyone know why this is? Or if there is a workaround?

As far as I am aware it is only the ability to get the menu text that fails, Getmenustring also fails with Image menus.

Erm, that's two items that fail then.

I couldn't find anything on MSDN that suggests GetMenuInfo will not work with a menu that includes bitmaps. What info are you trying to gather? Do the PB commands GetMenuItemText() and GetMenuTitleText() work with your menu?

Indeed, but I was kinda assuming that the one function was a wrapper for the second, with more information. MSDN does encourage the use of getmenuinfo over other functions anyway.

I havent used the PB functions, since I want to be able to modify menu items and submenus on the fly, something PB doesnt support. With the API I can add a submenu to another menu with very little programming, I am just a little bewildered why the text member doesnt populate with image menus.
