I am added sub items to menu. I am trying to retrieve the selected item but not succeeded.

Please help.

Code:

C++

CMenu  menu.LoadMenu(IDR_MENU2);

CMenu *subMenu = menu.GetSubMenu(0);
CMenu *subMenu2 = subMenu->GetSubMenu(0);
//adding item 
subMenu2->AppendMenu( MF_STRING, MENU_ITEM_ID , L"(Wi-Fi)");
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(MENU_ITEM_ID, &CAudioVideoSampleDlg::OnMenuSelect)

Using the below code fixed my problem.thank you for the support
ON_COMMAND_RANGE(START_ID, END_ID, &OnDoSomething)

void OnDoSomething(UINT nID)
{
     int index = nid - START_ID ;
     CString str;
     subMenu2->GetMenuString(index, str, MF_BYPOSITION) ;
}

str will give the selected Item from the sub menu.

Thanks,
