How do I add a shellexecute function opening program with appendmenu function? a

How do I use the shellexecute function with the appendmenu function to open a program?

These are my two scripts for both functions:

MENU

#include <windows.h>
#define ID_Save 1
#define ID_Load 2
#define ID_Exit 3
#define ID_Undo 4
#define ID_Redo 5
#define ID_VWS 6

/* This is where all the input to the window goes to */
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
switch(Message) {

case WM_CREATE: {

HMENU hMenubar = CreateMenu ();
HMENU hFile = CreateMenu ();
HMENU hEdit = CreateMenu ();
HMENU hHelp = CreateMenu ();

AppendMenu (hMenubar,MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)hFile,"File");
AppendMenu (hMenubar,MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)hEdit,"Edit");
AppendMenu (hMenubar,MF_POPUP, (UINT_PTR)hHelp,"Help");

AppendMenu (hFile, MF_STRING, ID_Save,"Save");
AppendMenu (hFile, MF_STRING, ID_Load,"Load");
AppendMenu (hFile, MF_STRING, ID_Exit,"Exit");
AppendMenu (hEdit, MF_STRING, ID_Undo,"Undo");
AppendMenu (hEdit, MF_STRING, ID_Redo,"Redo");
AppendMenu (hHelp, MF_STRING, ID_VWS,"Visit website");

SetMenu(hwnd, hMenubar);

break;
}

/* Upon destruction, tell the main thread to stop */
case WM_DESTROY: {
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
}

/* All other messages (a lot of them) are processed using default procedures */
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, Message, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0;
}

/* The 'main' function of Win32 GUI programs: this is where execution starts */
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {
WNDCLASSEX wc; /* A properties struct of our window */
HWND hwnd; /* A 'HANDLE', hence the H, or a pointer to our window */
MSG msg; /* A temporary location for all messages */

/* zero out the struct and set the stuff we want to modify */
memset(&wc,0,sizeof(wc));
wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; /* This is where we will send messages to */
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);

/* White, COLOR_WINDOW is just a #define for a system color, try Ctrl+Clicking it */
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wc.lpszClassName = "WindowClass";
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); /* Load a standard icon */
wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); /* use the name "A" to use the project icon */

if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc)) {
MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!","Error!",MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK);
return 0;
}

hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,"WindowClass","Main",WS_VISIBLE|WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT, /* x */
CW_USEDEFAULT, /* y */
640, /* width */
480, /* height */
NULL,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

if(hwnd == NULL) {
MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!","Error!",MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK);
return 0;
}

/*
This is the heart of our program where all input is processed and
sent to WndProc. Note that GetMessage blocks code flow until it receives something, so
this loop will not produce unreasonably high CPU usage
*/
while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0) { /* If no error is received... */
TranslateMessage(&msg); /* Translate key codes to chars if present */
DispatchMessage(&msg); /* Send it to WndProc */
}
return msg.wParam;
}


OPEN PROGRAM

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

void StartProgram(string filename)
{
ShellExecute(NULL,"open",filename.c_str(),NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}

int main()
{

StartProgram("firefox");
system("pause");
return 0;
}

How do I comebine these two scripts to open say "firefox" for example in place of the Save submenu in the appendmenu?
