Word stopped using standard menus long ago, so if you're equating the
calling of EnumThreadWndProc with it finding a window that has a standard
menu, there's the mistake.


Doug,
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Well my first problem is
EnumThreadWndProc does not get even called when I tried it for
WinWord.exe. For Notepad and Win32 application, it did work well.
About standard menus of word, I really agree with you. But If I want to
find out the menu of any application , ther is no best and generic way
other than EnumThreadWndProc. What do I really need to do to get menu
of WinWord.exe ? Is there any trick that could solve my problem ?

Thanks and Regards,
AJay

I am using EnumThreadWindows to enumerate all windows of newly created

STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );

   // Start the child process.

       return;
   }
   Sleep(10000);
   WaitForInputIdle(pi.hProcess,10000);

   // Enumerate all threads of Windows
  BOOL bRetVal =
EnumThreadWindows(pi.dwThreadId,EnumThreadWndProc,(LONG)this);

  if(! this->m_hWnd )
  return;

BOOL CALLBACK EnumThreadWndProc(HWND hwnd,LPARAM lParam)
{
     CMainFrame *pFrameWnd = (CMainFrame*)lParam;
     if(GetMenu(hwnd) != NULL)
     {
  pFrameWnd->m_hWnd = hwnd;
    return FALSE;
     }
   return TRUE;
}
