TMenu has a number of member functions and member operators you can call to find out information about the menu object and its menu.

You might need to call one of the query member functions before you call one of the modify member functions. For example, you need to call TMenu::GetMenuCheckmarkDimensions() before calling TMenu::SetMenuItemBitmaps(). The following table lists the menu object query member functions:

Menu object query member function	Description
Querying the menu object as a whole
TMenu::operator uint()	Returns the menu's handle as a uint.
TMenu::operator HMENU()	Returns the menu's handle as an HMENU.
TMenu::IsOK()	Checks if the menu is OK (has a valid handle).
TMenu::GetMenuItemCount()	Returns the number of items in the menu.
TMenu::GetMenuCheckMarkDimensions(TSize&)	Gets the size of the bitmap used to display the check mark on checked menu items.
