C++ MFC - Menu Items Disabled

[adam3223]

I've been teaching myself MFC from some tutorials on the web and it's going okish - i think.

Basically i've added a menu to my window, but all the menu items are disabled, i thought that was because i hadn't implemented them, so i wrote code for them and they're still not working.

Can someone take a look at the source code please and tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Oh i'm using VC++6
and does VS.net have MFC? and is it backwards compatible with VC6 (because uni only has VC6)

VS.net does have MFC, I think it all runs as unmanaged code in the .net runtime.

I can't get your code to build in my copy of VS.net 2005:

the code should be backwards compatible but the project files won't be

Error 1 error C2440: 'static_cast' : cannot convert from 'bool (__thiscall CButtonWindow::* )(CDC *)' to 'BOOL (__thiscall CWnd::* )(CDC *)' c:\mfc3\mfc3\main.cpp 74

I'll move to VS2005 sometime then.

But until then; It compiles ok in VS6, but that function isn't important, so you can just comment it out.

Does anyone know whats wrong??
