Hi,

How can I get the Position of a menu item. I am having Menu Item ID. The reverse is possible using the API CMenu::GetMenuItemID().

Is there any API in CMenu to get the menu item position?

Thanks in advance.

There's no direct method for that. I guess you have to iterate on the menu's items to retrieve such a info.

Here is an example of how someone has tried to solve it, as noted by CPallini. Note that I have not tried the code sample nor can I verify it.

You may have missed that this question is 5 years old. I think other actions on the thread (such as spam being deleted) brought this post to the front of the list. A few of us have been caught out over the last few days - myself included.

Nope. Still actively developing in C++ and using MFC (for better or worse). Until the tools and the products are completely dead, content online is still useful...especially as MS's is dwindling.

Further to Signor Pallini's answer you can always check the documentation[^].
