DOCERR: Name of Standard Help Menu Incorrect for InsertItem

ID: Q94612

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1

SYMPTOMS

An "Unable to add menu item" error message occurs when trying to add a menu item to the Windows Help engine's Help menu with InsertItem().

CAUSE

MNU_HELPON is being used as the Help menu identifier in the InsertItem() macro.

RESOLUTION

Page 318 of Microsoft Windows version 3.1 SDK "Programmer's Reference, Volume 4: Resources" incorrectly lists MNU_HELPON as the Help menu identifier for the Help engine. The correct identifier for the Help menu is MNU_HELP. Using the incorrect identifier does not cause an error when the Help file is compiled, but does cause an "Unable to add menu item" error when the macro is executed by the Windows Help engine.
