Is there a way of combining windows style constants so as to give a menu
with a child window? From what I can see by experimenting with the ws_
style constants, the only way of obtaining a menu is to define a style
containing ws_Popup, and yet ws_Popup may not be used with ws_Child.

I could of course put the menu on the parent window, but as what I'm
trying to do is to put a small edit window at the bottom right-hand
corner of a screenful of graphics I don't want to have to separate the
menu too much from the window it pertains to.

Have you tried creating your child window and then using LoadMenu() and
SetMenu() in the WM_CREATE message processing code?

I have never tried this but it may do want you want.  Then again it may
not.  Let me know if it works for you!

Hi everybody
~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would like to get the FAQ list for the windows programming newsgroups
if there is such. 
Could someone point me to it ? Prefferably to an ftp site and directory.

Thanks
~~~~~~ Yaniv
