mfc >> Renaming menu item and changing its prompt text...?

by HS » Wed, 26 Nov 2003 19:05:10 GMT

Hi,

I rename one menu item at runtime as follows...

int nCount = pMenu->GetMenuItemCount();

for (int i = 0; i < nCount; i++)
{
CString str;
pMenu->GetMenuString(i, str, MF_BYPOSITION);

if (str.CompareNoCase(_T("Old Name")) == 0)
{
UINT nId = pMenu->GetMenuItemID(i);
pMenu->ModifyMenu(nId, MF_BYCOMMAND, nId, _T("New
Name"));
break;
}
}

How can I change also its prompt text?

TIA,

-HS

1. Change menu item text programmatically 

I am trying to programmatically change the text of a menu item  in a submenu 
of context menu.
The menu item starts off as "Play" and I later execute
    this.menuItem1.Text = "Stop";
I can confirm with the debugger that the field value changes as expected yet 
this is not actually reflected in the menu itself.

Any ideas?

Mike
