Menu Question

[Steve Nelson]

I've never been a menu guy, but I got excited when I saw that Eudora customized their
Window Menu with extra choices. So I decided to try it.

This runs fine and "MyString" appears in the Window Menu. But when I choose "MyString" I
do not get the message box. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Try WM_SYSCOMMAND (it's handled a bit differently than the usual WM_COMMAND)

That worked. Thanks, Kevin.

Thanks.
