Get menu bar items from an application


Recommended Posts

Hello again,

I would like to know how(if possible)to get the items from an application's menu bar, as well as all the "sub-items" too. Also too, if possible, can I hide the menu bar after doing this.

I guess this is going to be a bit different seems menu bars don't return a control ID when using AutoIt v3 Window Info...

Vadersapien,

Look at the GUICtrlMenu_* functions in the Help file. They let you read the menus and sub-menus of other applications - there is even a "Remove" function ;) . The examples are easy to follow.

;) Looks like I overlooked the help file again! It's so big, especially the "libfunctions" page...

Now, here's where I'm up to...

Removing a menu is easy...what about removing the menu bar?

Reading the menus gives me a whole lot of handles that a wouldn't have a clue what to do with.

I was looking more at creating something like the Mac OSX menu bar, but only for a single application.
