[python-win32] GUI Rad for Python win32

[Kerry Oliphant]

Somesh,

I have never attached a menu to a dialog box.  I know that there is place in
Visual Studio to assign a menu resource to a dialog box.  I have never done
it though.  I tried once to get a menu on my main dialog of a dialog App but
I was not successfull.  If anyone has ever done this I would be interested
in hearing about it.  Reading the Microsoft docs seems to imply that it
cannot be done.  At least not easily.

Have you seen the sample chapters online for Mark and Andy's book.  You
should be able to use Chapter 12 to get you going on the COM link with VB.
I do not have VB and so I have never actually created a GUI in VB and linked
it with python in this way.  Chapter 20 shows you how to do it the way that
I described earlier.  I recommend you still buy the book though.

in VC++ dialog we can attach menu thru property dialog , is it ?i attached
it to mydialogue box even when am using it with exe prog it worx fine
