Okay, I've got 2 problems and I didn't want to make two different topics out of it...

1. Debuggers
Can anyone recommend me an useful freeware (or shareware)(or non-shareware) win32 assembler-based debugger? I'm workin' with OllyDbg 1.08b right now, but it hangs on FF7... :(

2. Menus
Okay, I've got a problem in Ultima. I want to make a Popup-menu for my renderer view class, which has got a list of the groups that can be rendered. It should look like this:
Code: [Select]
Code: 
+------------+---------+| Groups   > | Group 0 |+------------+---------+             | Group 1 |             +---------+             | Group x |             +---------+

I know how to build up a menu dynamically in runtime, however, there's a problem with the group entries.
I don't know how many groups the user will use, and creating dozens of IDs for the Group menus would be too much.

So:
Is it possible to create a "menu array"? So that all those Group-Entries would have the same ID, let's say ID_VIEW_GROUP, and I simply add a kind of Index to them??
I hope you understand my problem...

I've used IDA Pro, although it's a disassembler rather than a debugger ... it may be of some use.

As for the menu problem, it's possible and very easy in Delphi ;) Sounds like you're using MFC which I don't know, so I'm not sure how you'd do it ...
 
Microsoft WinDbg may come in handy -- although it still has some rough edges, it supports both GUI and command-line operation, is more powerful than the Visual C++ debugger, and can do remote debugging.  It has some neat commands, like "grep disassembly."

As for the dynamic menus, you can use any numeric IDs between (IIRC) 1-65534.  Just pick an ID around ~45000 or so that isn't near the ranges that the resource editor is using.

Okay, and how do I tell the message handler to pass these IDs to one function so I can handle it?

Okay, I found the answer for my problem: ON_COMMAND_RANGE
This problem is solved now, thanx
