- I'm using BC++ 3.1 with OWL, and I am trying to find some way to change the
- menu in an MDI application that allows Windows to recognize the new position
- of the Child Window submenu. I have tried and failed with the OWL
- TWindow::AssignMenu function, the WM_SETMDIMENU message, the combination of
- the two, etc....
-
- I have been rummaging through the OWL source code, and I noticed that the
- ChildMenuPos variable that is specified in the constructor of a TMDIFrame
- descendant, is passed to the CreateWindow API Function, and is not used
- again during the life of the window. I hope there is way to switch MDI
- menus without destroying and recreating the window!
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated via E-mail. I will forward or repost
- answers if anyone is interested.
