GetMenuState
The GetMenuState function retrieves the menu flags associated with the specified menu item. If
the menu item opens a submenu, this function also returns the number of items
in the submenu.
The GetMenuState function has been superseded by the GetMenuItemInfo function. You can still use GetMenuState, however, if you do not need any of the extended features of GetMenuItemInfo.
UINT GetMenuState(
HMENU hMenu,
| // handle of menu
| UINT uId,
| // menu item to query
| UINT uFlags
| // menu flags
| );
|
|
Parameters
hMenu
Identifies the menu that contains the menu item whose flags are to be
retrieved.
uId
Specifies the menu item for which the menu flags are to be retrieved, as
determined by the uFlags parameter.
uFlags
Specifies how the uId parameter is interpreted. This parameter can be one of the following values:
Value
| Description
| MF_BYCOMMAND
| Indicates that the uId parameter gives the identifier of the menu item. The MF_BYCOMMAND flag is the
default if neither the MF_BYCOMMAND nor MF_BYPOSITION flag is specified.
| MF_BYPOSITION
| Indicates that the uId parameter gives the zero-based relative position of the menu item.
|
Return Values
If the specified item does not exist, the return value is 0xFFFFFFFF.
If the menu item opens a submenu, the low-order byte of the return value
contains the menu flags associated with the item, and the high-order byte contains
the number of items in the submenu opened by the item.
Otherwise, the return value is a mask (Boolean OR) of the menu flags.
Following are the menu flags associated with the menu item.
Value
| Description
| MF_CHECKED
| Places a check mark next to the item (for drop-down menus, submenus, and
shortcut menus only).
| MF_DISABLED
| Disables the item.
| MF_GRAYED
| Disables and grays the item.
| MF_HILITE
| Highlights the item.
| MF_MENUBARBREAK
| Functions the same as the MF_MENUBREAK flag, except for drop-down menus,
submenus, and shortcut menus, where the new column is separated from the old column
by a vertical line.
| MF_MENUBREAK
| Places the item on a new line (for menu bars) or in a new column (for
drop-down menus, submenus, and shortcut menus) without separating columns.
| MF_SEPARATOR
| Creates a horizontal dividing line (for drop-down menus, submenus, and
shortcut menus only).

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
