n Level deep submenu copy into a Array.....

I would like to make an Array similar to the n-level deep CMenu.

Can anyone suggest me a method to read all the possible sub menus and store them in a array with the same kind of hirearchy the Menu has.

It was a nice and simple solution. I apprecitae it. I never thought that getsubmenu will go n level deep.

Hi nv3prasad,

to VinExpert: nv3prasad asks for a solution for n-level menu, so he'll need a recursive solution like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void
CMainFrame::ReadMenus()
{
CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu();
ReadMenu( pMenu );
}

void
CMainFrame::ReadMenu( CMenu* pMenu )
{
static int deep = 1; // just a counter to make the TRACE look fine
deep++;
UINT i, num = pMenu->GetMenuItemCount();
CMenu* pSubMenu;
CString item;
for ( i = 0; i < num; i++ )
{
pSubMenu = pMenu->GetSubMenu( i );
if ( pMenu->GetMenuItemID( i ) == 0 )
item = "------------------------";// Seperator
else
pMenu->GetMenuString( i, item, MF_BYPOSITION);
TRACE( "%*s%s\n", deep, "|-", item );
if ( pSubMenu )
ReadMenu( pSubMenu ); // recurse into popup menu
}
deep--;
}

hope that helps,

To VinExpert,

Zoppo is exactly right, your solution only works for one level and not a recursive solution but never mind you gave me a start on it.

HiZoppo,

I think you deserve the points and so just let me know what I have to do so that you get them?

Thank you both

Yes I agree.

Hi nv3prasad,

if you want to give me points you'll have to post a new question like 'Points for Zoppo'...

But, I think it would be rather fair if VinExpert would offer me 20 points, because I had to pay 20 points to see the comments for this question after you accepted it :o]

Hi Zoppo,

Why me?

VinExpert

Zoppo

Because you earned the 20 points I had to pay when I opened the question.
Further you agree that your answer wasn't the correct one but you got the point.
Even more I don't think that nv3prasad should have to pay points twice for one question.

Just some thoughts :)

Hi,

But How come?. I suggested an answer and prasad accepted, so I got the points. And U saw it so U paid 20 points. But before seeing U knew that U will loosing some points. Is it right?.....

NoNo, I was just joking. If prasad feels that he should give U points, then he will give U.

Dear Zoppo,

I appreciate your answer and I will give you whatever points you want me to, just let me know how I have to transfer you the points.

Hi nv3prasad,

if you want to give me points you'll have to post a new question like 'Points for Zoppo' with the points offered you want to give ...

I don't mind how much points I get, just do what you mean it's worth...
