I am using the Win32 API function GetMenu to get the menu handle for the menu
bar in IE or Windows Explorer. Apparently, GetMenu is indeed returning the
correct menu handle value (I used Spy++ to verify if the menu handle was
correct). However, if I then use GetMenuItemCount with the hMenu returned by
GetMenu, I get a returned value of zero. GetMenuItemCount should return -1 if
failure, or the number or menu items if successful. Why is it that
GetMenuItemCount returns 0 when there are in fact 6 menu items in IE’s menu
bar? Is there a workaround for this?
I’ve tried this with other apps such as calc, notepad, etc and it works fine
with these. It only does not work with IE or Windows Explorer.
Is there any other way I can access these menu items (and get their resource
ID)?
Thanks,
Leo
