Where to find definition of window message WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM (0x92)

how to nicely replace hard-coded 0x92 with a Windows-defined macro?
Obviously, your installed version of the Win32 SDK does not have the macros, so you can't use them. But you have the `#define` values, so just copy/paste them directly into your own code. If you want, you can wrap them in an `#ifdef` so that if you ever upgrade to an SDK version that has them natively, the native macros will be used, otherwise the compiler will keep using your manual ones.
#ifndef WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM
#define WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM 0x0092
#endif
Problem
I'm writing a hook dll, which handles window drawing messages. I found for Vista and above, some unknown message id are received by the hook dll, specifically 0x90 ~ 0x95. I did some googling and found an msdn link and this, which told me what message they're: ``` #define WM_UAHDESTROYWINDOW 0x0090 #define WM_UAHDRAWMENU 0x0091 #define WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM 0x0092 #define WM_UAHINITMENU 0x0093 #define WM_UAHMEASUREMENUITEM 0x0094 #define WM_UAHNCPAINTMENUPOPUP 0x0095 ``` But I can't find definition of macro `WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM` in any header files, the compiler complains about "undefined symbols". I did a global search on "WM_UAHDRAWMENUITEM" but found nothing. At present I'm using 0x92 to handle this message. My question is: how to nicely replace hard-coded 0x92 with a Windows-defined macro?
