_SetItemText( ) API Library Routine


void _SetItemText(MENUID menuid, ITEMID itemid, char FAR text) MENUID menuid; / Menu identifier. / ITEMID itemid; / Menu item identifier. / char FAR text; /* Text. */

The menu item can be either a menu title or a bar.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.

The following example builds a menu with three items. It then changes the item text using _SetItemText( ).
