Window / How to process events from a menu

« on: October 23, 2021, 12:32:31 pm »

Hello.

I'm trying to add a Windows API menu to an SFML window.
And I achieved it with this code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "windows.h"

int main() {
        sf::RenderWindow win(...);
        HWND hWnd = win.getSystemHandle();
       
        HMENU hMenu = CreateMenu();
        AppendMenu(...);
        AppendMenu(...);
        ...
        AppendMenu(...);
       
        SetMenu(hWnd, hMenu);
        while(win.isOpen()) {
                sf::Event event
                while(win.pollEvent(event)) {
                        ...
                }
        }
        return 0;
}
 

But I can't detect the menu events.

I understand that pollEvent only returns events from SFML and filters other events like those generated by the menu.

How can I go about implementing something like WindowProcedure before getting to pollEvent?

Thanks!
