Retrieves a handle to the menu assigned to the specified window.
HMENU GetMenu(
[in] HWND hWnd
);
[in] hWnd
Type: HWND
A handle to the window whose menu handle is to be retrieved.
Type: HMENU
The return value is a handle to the menu. If the specified window has no menu, the return value is NULL. If the window is a child window, the return value is undefined.
GetMenu does not work on floating menu bars. Floating menu bars are custom controls that mimic standard menus; they are not menus. To get the handle on a floating menu bar, use the Active Accessibility APIs.
For an example, see Adding Lines and Graphs to a Menu.
