======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - The ClassWizard, included with:
    - Microsoft Visual C++, versions 1.0, 1.5, 1.51, 1.52 
    - *EDITOR Please do not choose this product*Microsoft Visual C++ 32-bit Edition* use 241, 265, 225, versions 2.0, 2.1, 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The menu IDs of a menu created with App Studio, or Developer Studio in Visual
C++ version 4.0, do not appear in the ClassWizard Object IDs window when a
CDialog, CDialog-derived, CFormView, or CFormView-derived class is selected in
the ClassWizard Class Name combo box. However, the IDs do appear when other
classes, such as a program's CWinApp-derived class, are selected.

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. ClassWizard associates only one class with a resource. Follow
the steps below to associate the menu IDs with a particular class.

RESOLUTION
==========

Below are the steps that allow the developer to see the menu IDs in the Object
IDs list when a CFormview or CDialog class is selected within ClassWizard.

1. Go to App Studio or Developer Studio and select the desired menu.

2. Press CTRL+W or choose the ClassWizard toolbar button.

3. For Visual C++ for Windows or Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 2.x, choose
   "Select Class" when the ClassWizard dialog box "Add Class" is displayed. (For
   Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 4.0, the "MFC ClassWizard" dialog box is
   displayed.)

4. Select the CDialog, CDialog-derived, CFormView, or CFormView-derived class
   from the "Class Name" list. The menu IDs will be displayed in the Object IDs
   list.

MORE INFORMATION
================

One example of when this problem occurs is when a menu is attached to a dialog,
through the menu selection box in the dialog properties sheet, and an attempt is
made to create handlers for the menu items in the dialog class. Upon building
the project, the menu will be visible in the dialog box, but the menu item IDs
are not available in ClassWizard. Therefore, no command handlers can be created
for these menu items. As stated above, it is necessary to invoke ClassWizard
with the menu visible in the Resource Editor to properly associate these menu
items with the dialog class.

In Visual C++ version 1.5 and above, the Message Maps tab needs to be in the fore
because ClassWizard is a tabbed dialog box in these versions.
