IContextMenu::GetCommandString

[Now Supported on Windows NT]

Retrieves the language-independent command string or the help text for a context menu item.

HRESULT GetCommandString(

UINT idCmd,
//Menu item identifier offset
UINT uFlags,
//Specifies information to retrieve
UINT *pwReserved,
//Reserved; must be NULL
LPSTR pszName,
//Address of buffer to receive string
UINT cchMax
//Size of the buffer that receives the string
);

Parameters

idCmd

Menu item identifier offset.

uFlags

Flag specifying the information to retrieve. This parameter can be one of the following values:

Value
Meaning
GCS_HELPTEXT
Returns the help text for the menu item.
GCS_VALIDATE
Validates that the menu item exists.
GCS_VERB
Returns the language-independent command name for the menu item.

pwReserved

Reserved. Applications must specify NULL when calling this method, and handles must ignore this parameter when called.

pszName

Address of the buffer that receives the null-terminated string being retrieved.

cchMax

Size of the buffer that receives the null-terminated string.

Return Values

Returns NOERROR if successful or an OLE-defined error code otherwise.

Comments

The language-independent command name is a name that can be passed to the IContextMenu::InvokeCommand method to activates a command by an application. The help text is a description that the Explorer displays in its status bar; it should be reasonably short (under 40 characters).
