SHCreateMenuBar

A version of this page is also available for

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

4/8/2010

This function creates a menu or softkey bar, as appropriate, to be associated with a specified window.

Note

Beginning with Windows Mobile 6.5.3, soft keys are replaced by touchable tiles on Windows Mobile Professional phones.

Syntax

BOOL SHCreateMenuBar(
  SHMENUBARINFO * pmb
);

Parameters

Return Value

This function returns TRUE if it is successful and FALSE if it fails.

Remarks

When successful, the newly created menu bar or soft key bar is positioned at the bottom of the specified window.

An application must resize its main window to accommodate the size of the menu bar. The following code shows how to programmatically determine the size of the menu bar.

hMenuBar = SHFindMenuBar( MyMainWindow);
GetWindowRect(hMenuBar, &MyRect);

In Windows Mobile 6.5, a soft key bar will be automatically created if the specification passed to SHCreateMenuBar function contains 2 or less top level menu items and those menu items do not contain images.

If the specification passed to SHCreateMenuBar function contains images or more than 2 top level menu items, the behavior is as follows.

  • SHCreateMenuBar will fail for Windows Mobile Standard.
  • SHCreateMenuBar will create a traditional style menu bar for Windows Mobile Professional and Windows Mobile Classic.

Code Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use SHCreateMenuBar.
