get a menu or submenu ID?

[ElectroLund]

Hey there, I am making a generalized utility function to check/uncheck a menuitem inside a menu in a menubar.  This would be handy when I'm treating a menu like a ring control, where only one of the menuitems can be checked at a time.

Is there not a way of programmatically deriving the menu/submenu ID?  I don't see one.  There's an attribute for menu name.

For my utility to iterate through all discovered menuitems of a menu, I need the menu ID.  It would be nice for the caller to not have to pass that to this function.  If I have a callback attached to the menuitem already, the only known parameters when that callback fires is of course:

menucallback (int menuBar, int menuItem, void *callbackData, int panel)

Hi,

I guess GetMenuBarAttribute( MBar, Menu, ATTR_FIRST_ITEM_ID, &MenuItem ); and ...ATTR_NEXT_MENU_ID... would be what you're looking for?

GetPanelMenuBar

int GetPanelMenuBar (int panelHandle);

Purpose

Returns the handle of the menu bar associated with a specific panel.

If there is no menu associated with the panel, this function returns zero.

This function only returns the menubar, not the menu/submenu.  I'm currently making a utility function to do what I'm after.  I'll post here later.

Ok, here is a project with my functions to retrieve a menu or submenu ID (GetItemMenuID), set exclusively a single menu/submenu item (SetExclusiveMenuCheckbox) and retrieve the singly set menu/submenu item  (GetExclusiveMenuCheckbox).
