_GUICtrlMenu_InsertSubMenuItem?

[Rawox]

Hi,

So I'm trying to create a contextmenu...

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Switch $iwParam
        Case $idPlay
            Run ( $Path & "\System\UT2004.exe" )
        Case Else
            Exit
    EndSwitch
EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND

Func WM_CONTEXTMENU($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $hMenu

    $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup ( 9 )
    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ( $hMenu, 0, "Close", $idClose )
    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ( $hMenu, 0, "", 0 )
    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ( $hMenu, 0, "Join Server", $mJoin )
    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ( $mJoin, 0, "WOH RPGInvasion", $idWOH )
    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ( $hMenu, 0, "Play Unreal Tournament 2004", $idPlay )
    _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu ( $hMenu, $iwParam )
    _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu ( $hMenu )
    Return True
EndFunc ;==>WM_CONTEXTMENU

but I can't figure out how to create submenu's. The $idWOH should be under (submenu) $mJoin...

How to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Rawox

Hi.

If i understand correctly you want to get something like this?

Try it:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 564, 282, 382, 239)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("RIGHT MENU ", 216, 112, 129, 57, $WS_GROUP)

$hmenu=GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($Button1)

$item=GUICtrlCreateMenu("submenutext",$hmenu)

$hexit=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit",$hmenu)

$itemofotem=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("AAAAAAA",$item)


$seconditemofsubmenu=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Second Submenu",$itemofotem)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

May be like this?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 564, 282, 382, 239)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("RIGHT MENU ", 216, 112, 129, 57, $WS_GROUP)

$hmenu=GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($Button1)

$item=GUICtrlCreateMenu("submenutext",$hmenu)

$hexit=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit",$hmenu)

$itemofotem=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("AAAAAAA",$item)


$seconditemofsubmenu=GUICtrlCreateMenu("Second Submenu",$item)

$itemofsubmenu2=GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("BBBBBBB",$seconditemofsubmenu)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

You do understand me, but the problem is that I need to use the _GUICtrlMenu functions because I can't show it any other way because the script consists of just this single contextmenu...

So I need this to be done using those functions

Hm. I`m sorry dude.Really i have no experience with _GUICTRLmenu* functions but i think you need _GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu() function for create submenu for $mJoin.

Check it out may be you can solve it using _GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu().

I'm sorry Really again.I have no experience with _GUICTRLmenu* functions.

No problem. I'll take a look

[Rawox]

I'm afraid I have to say that the _GUICtrlMenu_AppendMenu has nothing to do with creating submenu's. Any other ideas?

I just wrote you a nice reply and then IE crashed (I tried to create two tabs at the same time). Theres a reason I use chrome at home.

Anyway. The key is to think backwards. Make the sub menu, then use it as the last parameter in AddMenuItem

SubMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu

MainMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup
_GUICtrlMenu_AddMenuItem(MainMenu, Text, Id, SubMenu)

Or look at loading menus from resources. That makes it very easy to edit menus and use them, and it's a pity AutoIt doesn't do more to support resources natively.

sample MENU
{
     MENUITEM "&Soup", 100
     MENUITEM "S&alad", 101
     POPUP "&Entree"
     {
          MENUITEM "&Fish", 200
          MENUITEM "&Chicken", 201, CHECKED
          POPUP "&Beef"
          {
               MENUITEM "&Steak", 301
               MENUITEM "&Prime Rib", 302
          }
     }
     MENUITEM "&Dessert", 103
}

Thats a lot easier to visualize, and the code will be simpler too:

$hMenu = LoadMenu(GetModuleHandle(0), "sample")

Done Sorry about writing everything in pseudo code, I don't have AutoIt on this machine...

Haha, thank you math I already found another way to manage this.

I create a really tiny gui and let autoit rightclick on it while it shows and hide it right away (also the transparancy is @ 1/255) so it won't be visible.

Thanks anyway!

You do know that you can call TrackPopupMenu on an internal AutoIt menu?? GUICtrlGetHandle

Now you should have explained that you wanted to have sub menu's on a popup menu and then I could have helped you straight away.

Mat, thanks to your wonderful idea I've changed it al GUICtrlGetHandle was an excellent idea!

Mat, thanks to your wonderful idea I've changed it al GUICtrlGetHandle was an excellent idea!

There's always a right way to do it. You've got to learn to not accept what you know is a dodgy workaround, instead you should persevere to find the proper solution. I wish there was a neat philosophical quote explaining that theory. It would definitely go in the sig.
