IMessageFormEx::GetMenuCapabilities

Article
08/28/2006

The GetMenuCapabilities method is called by Messaging to query the add-in to determine which menu commands it can process (that is, which form menu commands to enable and which to disable).

Syntax

HRESULT GetMenuCapabilities (
  DWORD dwFlags,
  DWORD * pdwEnable
);

Parameters

dwFlags
[in] Bitmask specifying the entire set of possible command capabilities. See Remarks for details.
pdwEnable
[out] Reference to another bitmask that specifies the set of menu capabilities that the add-in supports. See Remarks for details.

Return Values

This method returns the standard values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, and E_FAIL, as well as the following:

S_OK
Indicates success.

Remarks

Messaging calls the form with GetMenuCapabilities and supplies GetMenuCapabilities with a list of all the menu items that can appear in the menu. This list is contained in the dwFlags parameter and is a bitmask created by combining zero or more command constants using the bitwise OR. For example, use MESSAGEFORMHOST2_CMDBARCAP_CUT | MESSAGEFORMHOST2_CMDBARCAP_PASTE to include both the cut and paste menu commands.

GetMenuCapabilities returns a second list that contains just the menu items that the add-in supports. The menu items that appear in the input list, but which are absent in the output list, appear grayed out in the add-in' menu.

The following table contains all the possible constants that can be combined to create dwFlags and pdwEnable. Each constant represents one menu item that can appear on the menu bar.
