Does anyone know how to make a modeless dialog box that also
contains a menu bar?
I have created a dialog box that contains a menu bar that is
treated like parent window, but this fails if the dialog box
is a child window. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Our solution was to replace the main window's menu with the one associated with the currently active child. When a menu item is selected, forward the message to the active child.

Any ideas? The problem is that WS_CHILD windows cannot have menu bars. If you create the dialog as a WS_POPUP style window, then you should be able to get the menu bar. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd.hp.com) HP Corvallis Information Systems
