The evolution of menu templates: Introduction
As with dialog templates,
menu templates have also gone through a four-stage evolutionary process.
People don't often generate menu templates in code,
although the LoadMenuIndirect function
is there waiting for you once you get the urge.
As a result, there aren't many questions from people trying to
generate menu templates dynamically,
but I'm going to go into the history of menu templates anyway,
just out of a sense of completeness.
If you're having problems with your dynamically-generated
menu templates,
you can ask the resource compiler to tell you what you're doing
wrong by createing a *.rc file for it and compiling it into
a scratch program.
Dump the resource as bytes, and there's your answer.
Same trick we used for dialog templates.
