adding menus 1

[rezzij]

Brand new to c++ and am trying to implement menus in an MFC SDI ... have created a menu heirarchy in resource editor, added handlers as commands, but I can not get the menu to appear on the dialog when the app is built - can anyone tell me what I am missing ?

thanks

In your CMainFrame class' constructor do you use the Create function's sixth parameter?

Create(NULL,"First Menu",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,CRect(0,0,90,90),NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU1/*Menu's resource ID*/));

Well, emphasizing that I am a total beginner, I do not have any of the entire line ? In the resource view, I have an item (IDR_MENU1) in the menu area - after making the menu I have the option of associating it with a new class or an existing, and I have been associating it with the main dialog. I am getting most of this out of a book, but they seem to be missing a chunk?

Bring up the dialog on the resource editor, right click, and go to properties. Then select the desired menu from the menu combo box. That's all you need to do.
