Class CMenu provides an interface through which to access your application's menus. It is useful for manipulating menus dynamically at run time; for example, when adding or deleting menu items according to context. Although menus are most often used with frame windows, they can also be used with dialog boxes and other nonchild windows.
CMenu
Encapsulates an HMENU handle to the application's menu bar and pop-up menus.
