Windows Mobile 6 Professional Style Menu Bars (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

The AYGShell API extensions provide support for Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic style menu bars, which can be used instead of command bars and command bands. Menu bars are implemented in a way that combines the functionality of a toolbar and a menu. Place menu items appearing on the menu bar on the left-most portion of the bar. Tool buttons, both standard and application-specific, must appear to the right of the menus in the menu bar.

You can create a menu bar by calling the SHCreateMenuBar function. You can alter a menu bar programmatically by sending it any existing toolbar message, as well as the SHCMBM_GETSUBMENU and SHCMBM_SETSUBMENU messages.
