VC++ creates a resource.h file that you nee3d to include everywhere you want to use the menu. then there are two ways:

1) When initializing the WNDCLASS(EX) struct:
wc.szMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDM_MYMENU);
IDM_MYMENU is whatever ID you assigned to your menu.

2)

HMENU hMenu = LoadMenu(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDM_MYMENU));
CreateWindow(..., hMenu, ...);
