7.5.2 Pop-up Menu Item

A menu resource contains data for each pop-up item in a menu. The first 16 bits
indicate whether the item is grayed, inactive, checked, and so on. This data also
includes a string that appears in the rectangle corresponding to that item. A
PopupMenuItem structure has the following form:

struct PopupMenuItem {
    WORD fItemFlags;
    char szItemText[];
};

Following are the members in the PopupMenuItem structure:
