IOleInPlaceFrame::InsertMenus

Allows the container to insert its menu groups into the composite menu to be used during the in-place session.

HRESULT InsertMenus(
  HMENU hmenuShared,                 //Handle to empty menu
  LPOLEMENUGROUPWIDTHS lpMenuWidths  //Pointer to array
);
 

Parameters

hmenuShared

[in] Handle to an empty menu.

lpMenuWidths

[in, out] Pointer to an OLEMENUGROUPWIDTHS array of six LONG values. The container fills in elements 0, 2, and 4 to reflect the number of menu elements it provided in the File, View, and Window menu groups.

Return Values

S_OK

This method supports the standard return values E_INVALIDARG and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the following:

S_OK

The menu groups were inserted successfully.

Remarks

Notes to Callers

This method is called by object applications when they are first being activated. They call it in order to insert their menus into the frame-level user interface.

The object application asks the container to add its menus to the menu specified in hmenuShared and to set the group counts in the OLEMENUGROUPWIDTHS array pointed to by lpMenuWidths. The object application then adds its own menus and counts. Objects can call IOleInPlaceFrame::InsertMenus as many times as necessary to build up the composite menus. The container should use the initial menu handle associated with the composite menu for all menu items in the drop-down menus.
