Intercepting Range of Menu Commands

Hello,

I have a dialog box with a menu that I dynamically add Menu items to the
menu. I also assign consecutive commands to this menu list. However, I'm
not sure how to intercept menu user events in single function with the
command id passed as parameter. I can not use ON_COMMAND since i do not know
how many menu items i will append.

Is there an easy way to do that.

Thanks

What programming language are you using?

I assume ON_COMMAND is a function that handles WM_COMMAND messages. If
so, then the low word of the corresponding WPARAM will contain the
control id associated with the menu item. Use LOWORD to extract it. If
each menu item has a different control id, then you can use a switch
statement or "if" block to match the right code for each one. If the
items are unique across menus, you don't even need to know which menu
an item is in.

Shouldn't matter.

For MFC, instead of using the ON_COMMAND macro, try
using the ON_COMMAND_RANGE macro to specify a range
of IDs that you want to intercept.

From Scott Seligman's contribution I gather this is a bad assumption.
Sigh.
