AASHELLMENUITEM structure (shlobj.h)

Contains information about a menu item.

Syntax

typedef struct tagAASHELLMENUITEM {
  void                  *lpReserved1;
  int                   iReserved;
  UINT                  uiReserved;
  LPAASHELLMENUFILENAME lpName;
  LPWSTR                psz;
} AASHELLMENUITEM, *LPAASHELLMENUITEM;

Members

lpReserved1

Type: VOID

Reserved. Applications should ignore this value.

iReserved

Type: int

Reserved. Applications should ignore this value.

uiReserved

Type: UINT

Reserved. Applications should ignore this value.

lpName

Type: LPAASHELLMENUFILENAME

If the selected menu item represents a file, this member is a pointer to an AASHELLMENUFILENAME structure that contains the name of the file. Otherwise this member is NULL.

psz

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to the string that contains the text to use if there is no file.

Remarks

If the menu belongs to the Windows Explorer process and the menu item is MFT_OWNERDRAW and dwItemData is not NULL, then the dwItemData member can be probed to determine whether it is a Windows Explorer menu that shows owner-drawn file names.

The accessibility tool might treat the dwItemData member as a pointer to an AASHELLMENUITEM structure in the process that owns the menu. In this case the lpName and psz members might be examined to determine the identity of the menu item. If lpName is not NULL, then the menu item represents a file name, expressed as an AASHELLMENUFILENAME structure. If lpName is NULL but psz is not NULL, then the menu item represents a string that is pointed to by the psz member.

The lpName and psz members contain pointers into the process that owns the menu.

Applications that probe owner-draw menu data must validate all data read from the process.
