In .Net there is something called a menu strip. These are more customizable than HMENU's. How could I create one of these in unmanaged C++?
Thanks
A:
They aren't more customizable than HMENUs, they're just easier to customize. If you don't want to use MFC C++ WinAPI wrapper, what do you want to customize ?

Menu strips are dockable like toolbars, they can be placed in the same row as a toolbar, etc. You'd have to completely rewrite the native Win32 menu to make it do that.

Not necessarily, based on that link from CodeProject (a must-have for MFC and useful for WinAPI, among others) : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/toolbars/dockwnd.aspxIt's heavy, but possible : the menu would be hosted by a child window, to dock.Also, I'm pretty sure MFC provides a way to do that easily.
