WM_INITMENU

The WM_INITMENU message is sent when a menu is about to become active. It occurs when the user clicks an item on the menu bar or presses a menu key. This allows the application to modify the menu before it is displayed.

WM_INITMENU

hmenuInit = (HMENU) wParam; // handle of menu to initialize

Parameters

hmenuInit

Value of wParam. Identifies the menu to be initialized.

Return Values

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.

Remarks

A WM_INITMENU message is sent only when a menu is first accessed; only one WM_INITMENU message is generated for each access. For example, moving the mouse across several menu items while holding down the button does not generate new messages. WM_INITMENU does not provide information about menu items.
