I created menu
Code:
section '.rsrc' resource data readable

  directory RT_MENU,menus

  resource menus,IDR_MAINMENU,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,mainMenu

   menu  mainMenu
   ;{
     menuitem '&File',0,MFR_POPUP
       ;{
          menuitem '&New',IDM_NEW
          menuitem '&Open',IDM_OPEN
          menuseparator
          menuitem 'Save',IDM_SAVE,MFR_END    

 menuitem 'exit',IDM_exit,MFR_END 
     


I want get in wndproc WM_MENUCOMMAND when popup menu '&File' items.

There is SetMenuItemInfo

MIM_STYLE dwStyle and MNS_NOTIFYBYPOS would be set
in a MENUINFO structure before the call.

I read your post about the menus. I have an example using menus with full comments. It's written in GoAsm assembler and all the comments are in French. Are you familiar with French? If so, I can send you the PDF.

Walter when I must call SetMenuItemInfo ?
And how I get my menu from resource section?

For SetMenuItemInfo need handle menu.
How get handle my menu in my case?
Using WM_CREATE in wndproc?



Calendos no. Thanks.

I found this
Code:
hMenu=GetMenu(hwnd);
          if (hMenu!=NULL)
          {
                  int iCount;
                  iCount=GetMenuItemCount(hMenu);
                  cout << "Menu Item - " << iCount << endl;
          }     

I do this in WM_CREATE and I get 2 elements menu!

But GetMenuInfo return empty MENUINFO struct.

Code:
.if [msg] = WM_CREATE
invoke GetMenu,[hWnd]
mov [@hmenu],eax
invoke GetMenuItemCount,eax
mov [MenuItemCount],eax
prInt eax               ;show 2 elements menu

 mov dword [Status22],7*4  ;size MENUINFO
invoke GetMenuInfo,[@hmenu],Status22 ;return eax=1. MSDN say error if eax=0
invoke GetLastError ;return eax=0
prInt dword [Status22+4] ;empty 


   return 0
.endif

.if [msg] = WM_MENUCOMMAND     ;must be flag menu style MNS_NOTIFYBYPOS
    invoke GetMenuStringA,[lParam],0,outTxt,100,MF_BYPOSITION
    Msg outTxt
    return 0
.endif

Roman,

Try this example and see if this index approach is similar to what you need.
SetMenuItemInfo should have been SetMenuInfo.

Code:
;*********************
;* WmMenuCommand.asm *
;*********************

format PE GUI 4.0
entry start

include 'win32a.inc'

struct MENUINFO
  cbSize        dd ?
  fMask         dd ?
  dwStyle       dd ?
  cyMax         dd ?
  hbrBack       dd ?
  dwContextHelpID dd ?
  dwMenuData dd ?
ends

MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS = 0x80000000
MIM_STYLE = 0x00000010
MNS_NOTIFYBYPOS = 0x08000000

IDR_MENU = 100
IDM_FILE_NEW  = 101
IDM_FILE_OPEN = 102
IDM_FILE_EXIT = 103

POS_FILE_NEW = 0
POS_FILE_OPEN = 1
POS_FILE_EXIT = 3
