Changing menus of an external app

[LuigiMario]

Sorry guys, I searched the forums, but I didn't find an answer to my question. Even if I think this is not possibile, I would like to know if it is possible to edit in real time the menus of an extern app, maybe adding sub-menus or other menus with autoit.

Thanks.

though the magic of anygui - http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517

Look at Auto3Lib from PaulIA.

There are functions for menu manipulating even in external applications.

A3LMenu.au3

and examples:

Menus 1.au3

Menus 2.au3

I'll try both ways and find out which one fits better my needs.

Thank you very much!

I can't get the events of the newly added menus... I got them showing inside another application using Auto3Lib, but now how do I make anything happen when I click on the menu?

I tried with guigetmsg() and either with the event-based method (GuiOnEventMode), but it didn't work, or maybe I didn't understand how to make it work...

For this look at anygui

Yay, that is what I was searching for! Thanks a lot, instead of a menu I'm inserting an icon right now. However I don't know how to make its background transparent, but it's already better than a normal menu.
