Re: Adding a menu item into the system menu of a console mode program

Sorry for letting you wait

No problem. It happend that I had too much work anyway...

The console window is created by CSRSS; not a Win32 application
and it is not a normal Win32 window. Attempts to treat it as a Win32
window might not always work as expected.

I have to support W2K, W2K3 and XP with only one console window for the
application. I don't need a general solution working in all situations. The
target is only my current specific situation.

I finally got the responses from the CSRSS team. Below is their comment:
This isn't really console-specific (conceptually) so you shouldn't try to
find a console-specific solution (since the only possible console-specific
solution can't work, as you know). I would suggest looking at winevents
(SetWinEventHook). It will tell you when certain events happen, such as
menu items being selected.

I will try to explore this.
Thanks.

Hope this helps.
