;MENUITEMs can be displayed on a menu bar or as a menu item associated with a drop-down, context menu or submenu.
;
;Dropdown menus are created by placing the name of a MENUITEM displayed in the menu bar in the parent attribute
;of the menu item's template entry. A submenu is started by placing the name of a MENUITEM other than a menu bar
;displayed menu item in the parent attribute.
;
;Context menus are usually activated by right-clicking the client area of a control or dialog. Create context
;menus by specifying the name of a control in the parent attribute. If you use the DEFAULT keyword as the
;MENUITEM parent, the context menu will by associated with the dialog and display when the user right clicks on
;an 'empty' area of the dialog or on any control that does not already have a system or template supplied context
;menu.

adding a DialogProcOptions(MyDialog_Handle,16,@TRUE) line to the initiialization section, a simple case statement to catch the event, and a submenu to the "mbi3_MyDialog" menu item.
Could you provide an example of modifying the menus using this event. As it is DialogProcOptions 16 prevents the menu events from firing.
Here is an example. You can only, dynamically, change the text on a menu as far as I know. Assuming I remember correctly, this feature was added primarily because there was no way to know a menu item had been clicked unless it was the final menu item in the path....was thinking there may have been another reason but can't recall. I know it was added because I asked a question and/or made a request at the time the menus were implemented because the lack made some reasonable task impossible to do. Just can't think what it was.

Okay, thanks. I've had dialogs where I've changed the titles of controls in response to user input, might want to do the same with menus at some point.
