The GetMenu function retrieves a handle to the menu assigned to the specified window.
Syntax
HMENU GetMenu(
HWND hWnd
);
Parameters
- hWnd
-
[in] Handle to the window whose menu handle is to be retrieved.
Return Value
The return value is a handle to the menu. If the specified window has no menu, the return value is NULL. If the window is a child window, the return value is undefined.
Remarks
GetMenu does not work on floating menu bars. Floating menu bars are custom controls that mimic standard menus; they are not menus. To get the handle on a floating menu bar, use the Active Accessibility APIs.
Example
For an example, see Adding Lines and Graphs to a Menu.
