Dynamic menu using mfc

by

You can create a CMenu object dynamically like this:

CMenu *menu = new CMenu;
menu->CreatePopupMenu();
// Add items to the menu
menu->AppendMenu(MF_STRING, menuItemID, "Text");
...

Then add this sub-menu to your main menu:

wnd->GetMenu()->AppendMenu(MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)menu->m_hMenu, "Menu Name");

As for the message map, assuming all your menu item IDs are within a certain range, you can use ON_COMMAND_RANGE to map the entire range to a single function. This function will receive the ID as a parameter, and within the function, you can perform different operations based on the ID.
