Here are some short handy functions for adding and deleting submenus and menu items in runtime.

To add a menu with some items in the file menu at a specified index, use:

  MenuItemData data[] ={
    ID_COMMAND_1, "First Item",
    ID_COMMAND_2, "Second Item",
    0, NULL
  };
  CMenu *pMenu = AddSubMenu(pMainFrm, file_menu_index, sub_menu_index, "Dynamic Menu", data); 

To append an item to the menu later on, use:

  AddSubMenuItem(pMenu, ID_COMMAND_3, "Third Item");

To remove a submenu again, use:

  RemoveSubMenu(pMainFrm, file_menu_index, sub_menu_index);

To remove only one item, use:

  RemoveSubMenuItem(pMenu, ID_COMMAND_1);

That's all. Enjoy!
