Menu seperator

How do I create a menu seperator (in a Win32 program). I've got the following code;

Code:

// Creates sub menu hSubMenu = CreatePopupMenu(); AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_NEW, "&New"); AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_OPEN, "&Open"); AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_SAVE, "&Save"); AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_SAVEAS, "Save &As"); AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_SEP1, ""); //Like this to be a seperator AppendMenu(hSubMenu, MF_STRING, IDC_MENU_EXIT, "E&xit"); AppendMenu(hMenu, MF_STRING | MF_POPUP, (UINT)hSubMenu, "&File");

Thanks

I think you set the caption to "-".

I remember something about an MF_SEPARATOR flag as well.

"-" didn't work (tried that first), but MF_SEPARATOR did:). So thanks, both of you. Especially because you replied so fast:D

True. At least we still have Knuth :)

I really need to order that book one of these days.

All three, you mean? ;)

I do too... now that I have some cash laying about, collecting dust... =). Or maybe I should wait, and save that for that laptop... :rolleyes: :D

And the fourth once it's finished, yep.

I'm taking it as one book, 3 volumes :D

Aahhh...

Very true indeed.

And I need to get the Effective C++, More Effective C++ and Effective STL books...

Hmmm....volumes 1 and 2 from amazon are only £69.66 together, with no postage.....I am very tempted. Will check around first though ;)

Arse. Will have to wait until I'm back from Uni and at home full-time....the couriers will need a signature -- everyone at home is at work during the day, and the people in the post room at Uni have a policy of not signing for things (annoying sometimes, but it's far safer that way).

Oh well. I've lasted waiting since 1983, I can wait 2 weeks more ;)
