_CountItems( ) API Library Routine
Returns the number of menu titles or bars on the specified menu.
int _CountItems(MENUID menuid)
MENUID menuid; /* Menu identifier. */
Example
The following example creates a menu with three items, and calls _CountItems( ) to show that the function correctly returns the number of items on the menu. The routine then disposes of menu items, and calls _CountItems( ) again.
