GUICtrlRead() return -1 on context menu item

[MrCreatoR]

Hi,

I am trying to get state of the item in context menu, but GUICtrlRead() always returns -1, is this a bug?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("GUICtrlRead() Bug?", 200, 100)

$hMenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu()

$MenuItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Test", $hMenu)
$ExitItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Exit", $hMenu)

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $ExitItem
            Exit
        Case $MenuItem
            MsgBox(0, "", "State of Context MenuItem = " & GUICtrlRead($MenuItem))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Call the context menu, and press the "Test" item, GUICtrlRead() return -1, why? on 3.2.8.1 it was working fine, now (on 3.2.12.0) it's not muttley

Maybe there is some sort of workaround for this? really need it now...

From changelog:

AutoIt:

Indeed, thank you... Btw, i didn't knew about the last version, i thought 3.2.12.0 is the last released muttley

Oops, it's fixed only in the last beta, not in 3.2.12.1...

Need ideas how to make it work on 3.2.12.1.

Use functions from GuiMenu.au3

Example:

expandcollapse popup

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

Global Enum $idOpen = 1000, $idSave, $idInfo

$hGUI = GUICreate("Menu", 400, 300)

$hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup()

_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 0, "Open", $idOpen)
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 1, "Save", $idSave)
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "", 0)
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "Info", $idInfo)
    
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CONTEXTMENU, "WM_CONTEXTMENU")

GUISetState()

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    Switch $wParam
        Case $idOpen
            ConsoleWrite("!> Open" & @LF)
            _GUICtrlMenu_CheckRadioItem ($hMenu, 0, 3, 0)
        Case $idSave
            ConsoleWrite("!> Save" & @LF)
        Case $idInfo
            ConsoleWrite("!> Open" & @LF)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc   ;==>WM_COMMAND

; Handle WM_CONTEXTMENU messages
Func WM_CONTEXTMENU($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $wParam)
    
    Return True
EndFunc   ;==>WM_CONTEXTMENU
