SendMessage and Menus

[Pete Kane]

Hi All, does anyone know of a way to retrieve the ID of a menu ? I've
tried using Winspector but can't seem to track down menus, buttons and
other controls easy peasy, thanks

Pete,

The only thing I can think of would be to pass the handle to
GetDlgCtrlID. However, for a menu, I don't know that it will work. For
regular windows controls, it should give you the identifer, if there is one.

Thanks Nicholas, I'm sure that would work if I knew the handle of the
menu (Catch 22) keep em coming

Pete,

If you don't have the handle to the window, then the only options you
have are calling FindWindow, FindWindowEx and/or EnumWindows and checking
the properties of the window handles returned to you.
