Goal: insert an icon resource to the popup menu, my code is below: code1: Code: HMENU hMenuPopup = CreatePopupMenu(); if (hMenuPopup) { HBITMAP hbmQuit = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAINFRAME), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTSIZE); MENUITEMINFO mii; ZeroMemory(&mii, sizeof(MENUITEMINFO)); mii.cbSize = sizeof(mii); mii.fMask = MIIM_CHECKMARKS|MIIM_STRING|MIIM_ID; mii.wID = MENU_ID; mii.dwTypeData = TEXT("Quit"); mii.hbmpChecked = (HBITMAP)hbmQuit; mii.hbmpUnchecked = (HBITMAP)hbmQuit; InsertMenuItem(hMenuPopup, MENU_ID, FALSE, &mii); POINT ptCursor; GetCursorPos(&ptCursor); TrackPopupMenu(hMenuPopup, TPM_LEFTALIGN|TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, ptCursor.x, ptCursor.y, 0, GetSafeHwnd(), 0); //::DeleteObject(hbmQuit); [color=red]//---->I search the forum questions, someone said, should not delete the bitmap, should I?[/color] } The code1 neither shows bitmap nor the text. Can you explain where am I wrong? Then I replace 'InsertMenuItem' to 'AppendMenu' and 'SetMenuItemBitmaps', it shows the text but still no bitmap. code2: Code: AppendMenu(hMenuPopup, MF_STRING, MENU_ID, TEXT("Quit")); SetMenuItemBitmaps(hMenuPopup, MENU_ID, MF_BYCOMMAND, hbmQuit, hbmQuit); Please first explain why my code1 and code2 not working(All I searched answers say it should work), Then how can I show bitmap in the menu correctly! Thanks in advance!
