Question and Answer Database FAQ1439C.txt How to customize or delete AppExpert menus Category :IDE Platform :Win95/NT Product : BC++5.x Question: I am trying to use AppExpert (BC++ 5.01) to create a Windows 95 MDI application. AppExpert insists on adding a menu with File, Edit, Search, and Help items. I don't want these; I want to create my own menu items. When I tried to delete the menu in the Resource Editor, it wouldn't let me. Is there any way to keep AppExpert from creating the menu? Answer: There is an easy way to attack this problem. Go to the IDE project view and you will find the .rc file on the list. Then right click on it and choose "view | textedit" (you could also just do "file | open" and open the .rc file. Then you will find your menu there. Simply delete the parts you don't want and insert the new items you want. Be sure to add the resource ID's to match the id's you put in the .rc file. (usually you put it in the .rh file). 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
