Many .NET framework objects can be created from handles though - for example bitmaps and cursors, I was wondering if there was an equivalent for the menu class (like a 'FromHandle') function?

This is very true (my 5), but I wonder why would you need to do that if you already have a ready-to-use framework with System.Windows.Forms. Are there interesting effect you can achieved by using the native handles? Remember that it will kill platform compatibility. I run my .NET applications using Forms on Linux and Mac without recompilation, under Mono. Using handles would destroy the functionality on non-Windows platforms.

Solution 1

No, a HMENU is of course an unmanaged pointer to the menu window and is not the same as a .net menu object.
