GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem() for Alt+Space?

[jacQues]

There are numerous applications that add menu items to Window's Alt+Space menu. Example: AutoIt Help > Jump to URL & About...

Is this possible with AutoIt and how to do this?

Hi! Try this:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>

Global Enum $id_URL = 1000, $id_About

$hGui = GUICreate("Menu test", 300, 200)

$hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hGui)

_GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu($hMenu, $MF_SEPARATOR, 0, 0)
_GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu($hMenu, $MF_STRING, $id_URL, "Go to address...")
_GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu($hMenu, $MF_STRING, $id_About, "About")

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "WM_SYSCOMMAND")

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

Func WM_SYSCOMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Local $idFrom
    
    $idFrom = BitAND($wParam, 0xFFFF)
    
    Switch $idFrom
    Case $id_URL
        ShellExecute("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum")
    Case $id_About
        MsgBox(64, "About", "Autoit v " & @AutoItVersion)
    EndSwitch
    
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

Variable used without being declared.:
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "WM_SYSCOMMAND")
GUIRegisterMsg(^ ERROR

Need to include WindowsConstants.au3 for that variable.

And just for clarification, it's not possible to use AutoIt to add menu items to other process's windows, correct? Or perhaps the menu items could be added, but they would not be functional I think.
