(About the author)
 
     UPDATE(2002-12-13): Sample HookMenu 1.4 introduces RightToLeft forms support. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-27): Sample HookMenu 1.3.5 fixes problems with MDI forms. Separators are reduced to 3 pixels to match Office XP ones. You can use DontHookMenu=1 when debugging and the control is part of your project. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-23): Sample HookMenu 1.3.4 fixes troubles in NT 4.0, menubar background color in Win XP classic appearance and sub-menu arrow forecolor if menu text is not black. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-21): Sample HookMenu 1.3.3 fixes an XP redraw bug, an accelerator (underlined) symbols bug and keyboard navigation in Win9x. Sample HookMenu 1.3.2 adds custom drawing of sub-menus arrows and fixes unicode strings support. Various fixes for Win95 support. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-20): Sample HookMenu 1.3.1 fixes issues with WindowList menus and 3rd level sub-menus positioning. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-18): Sample HookMenu 1.3 fixes issues with the subclasser (both in Win 9x and NT/2K/XP) so no more GPFs. Closer Office XP experience: menu colors are closer to Office values in 8bit color depth and in high contrast color scheme; menu shadow simplified as in Office in 8bit color depth; popup menus are positioned manually two pixels down; seamless shadow if popup is above the menubar. __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-12): Sample HookMenu 1.2 fixes the issue with TextBox popup menus (finally!). Some design time issues and menubar background color problems spotted by Ovidiu Boldea. Also, the property page is working more fluently now. I'm sick of win9x and so these are not supported from now on (ok, promise to do my best:-)). __________________________________________________ UPDATE(2002-11-10): Sample HookMenu 1.1 fixes issues in NT 4.0 and MDI child forms. Can anyone test the control under win95? __________________________________________________ This is a second attempt on moduleless window subclasser featuring "run-time dynamically generated machine code". The original was submitted by Paul Caton a couple of months ago. The present version is safer and is based on a completely rewritten assembly thunk. Also I have changed the name of the subclasser to reflect more closely what in fact it's doing. In addition to this you get the hooking thunk which (you guessed it) hooks windows hooks in a convenient and safe way. Both of the thunks' source files (assembly) are included. Both thunks are designed to be and have shown to be exceptionally safe in the IDE, they seem immune to both the end button and End statement - try to crash them and let me know what your results are. The screenshot is from a sample project (included in the zip) which subclasses a form's menus and turns them into Office XP clones - now it's not necessary to include 13000 lines of "supercode" to get the Office XP style menus under win 98/2000/XP/.Net Server (not tested on 95/NT btw). Enjoy and leave your votes!

Good code, 5.00 stars from me.
Two 
issues however, one that keeps me from 
using it (the first one):
1. it 
doesn't seem to work well with MDI 
childs (in your example form2 has an 
image associated with mnuNew that shows 
OK in IDE but at runtime, when the form 
is displayed inside it's MDI parent - 
MDIForm1, the image isn't present 
anymore).
2. in WinXP the menubar 
(the portion of the menu that is always 
visible on the form) has not the proper 
color. It seems that for WinXP or newer 
you should get the menubar color with 
GetSysColor(COLOR_MENUBAR) while in 
previous versions of Windows it works 
well now.
This would be THE PERFECT 
post on PSC with these two issues 
fixed, especially the MDI one because 
the second one is really easy to do 
;)
You can count on my 5 stars on all 
of your posts if you keep it that way. 
Congratulations again to you and to 
Paul Canton.

rather suspect that when all the issues

btw, to use the HookMenu control with 
MDI forms you need to place instances 
of the control BOTH in the MDIForm and 
the child form -- the two controls will 
interoperate (by forwarding win 
messages).

disappear magically under design-run 
time, but no problem when complied to 
EXE. Can you fix the problem, and

My computer

Hi, thank you for sharing this 
excellent code.
A minor glitch 
occurs using bitmaps and menu arrays. 
Using a MDIForm menu only, hiding menus 
based on child.  A bullet picture is 
used for group options instead of the 
default check. Some menus have the 
bullet where it belongs but other times 
a bullet shows up on a menu where I 
never set a picture and where I set a 
bullet for a checked item the picture 
is never set. Lots of loading and 
unloading of menus is going on.
On 
the flip side, I created a base 10x10x3 
favorites menu array and unload and 
load on the fly. Every folder and docIE 
bitmap shows up where it 
belongs.
Again, great stuff.
Don

Hi again.
Found problem.
Captions 
cannot have exact same name including 
position of '&'.  Had a View menu that 
if a child form used a Listview, menu 
options of Lar&ge Icons, S&mall Icons, 
&List and &Details was available.  
Under the same View menu Toolbars -> 
has an option for Lar&ge Icons and 
S&mall Icons.  By changing the position 
of the & in the toolbars section the 
bitmap property works correctly for all 
menu items.

Is there anyway you can compile it ina 
project for me please.  I do not seem 
to get around it somehow.  The reason 
for not using the subclassing file is 
tha i want to embed it and i can simply 
send an EXE update to the clients.  
Rather than send the subclassing file 
and exe.  It will be simpler this 
way.
Can you pls help thanks

Well you are right they will be able to 
query it.  But that is fine. Can you do 
it that way for me (Integrate it pls).  
What is the adantage and disadvantages 
of integrating it ?

The problem that I faced was .. 
Start 
the Application (any application with 
your Code)
Then click on the menu's 
and open then
Then hit the End button 
in the IDE and it crashes.
Now here 
is the deal with Subclassing
It is 
hard to correct the IDE and debugging 
of the component, however to debug you 
can call the subclassing event only 
after you sure u want to create an exe 
and distribute the same.

Vlad,
Mind offering a hand?  I'm 
trying to get system messages globally, 
such as WD_MOUSE, MOVE, etc.  What I'd 
like to be able to do is select the 
message type (enum list at the moment) 
and be able to track messages 
'everywhere,' not just in the project.  
Any thoughts would be greatly 
appreciated!
