Hi,
The best way to see how the menus need to manipulated in VS 2005 project is to start off with a Wizard generated SDI MFC application.
Starting with VS2005 the menus need to be addeded with CCommandBar class. You need to add a CCommandBar member to your dialog class and then use the following code in your Dialog's InitiDialog method. Add menu resource through the resource view, or you may like to copy a template from some where and proceed to modify it from there on.
if (!m_dlgCommandBar.Create(this) ||
!m_dlgCommandBar.InsertMenuBar(IDR_MAINFRAME)) //IDR_MAINFRAME is the ID of the enu resource to be added.
{
TRACE0("Failed to create CommandBar\n");
return FALSE; // fail to create
}
//Sample Menu reosuce to added to the rc file.
IDR_MAINFRAME MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
MENUITEM "OK", IDOKEND
Hope this helps.
Thanks
