Your code just seems to get better and

you released the first version of it.  
But you still have yet to send me a

in regards to the CoolMenu.  Please

The White bug... I'm still working on 
it but it doesn't do it on my system.  
I posted a new version of the code, 
try it and send feedback.
The main 
menu item disable bug will be fixed 
soon.  I wasn't aware of it.
Dragon, 
I'm sure I didn't lost you're e-mail, 
I'll find it and reply.
I don't read 
Spanish very well, I'll translate and 
get back on you
To make a menu on a 
CoolBar, you have to use popups and 
API.  A 
complete vb CoolBar is my 
next project.

This is excellent. Good job.
One 
request would be to allow an image to 
be tiled as the background. I'm going 
to see if I can add that myself, but if 
you already know how it would be that 
much better.

I love the effects which this code can 
create, but adding 5 different files to 
my project is way too much overhead for 
me.  How are chances that version 1.4 
can be turned into a COM object or an 
ActiveX control, thus shrinking it all 
into one file?
I'd love to get 
updates.

I recently upgraded to Windows XP and 
that's when all the trouble started. I 
can't get the pictures in the menu's 
anymore. When I use the program on a 
Windows 9x machine, there's no problem, 
but I would really like it to be 
compatible with XP. By the way: the 
optionbuttons and checkboxes are 
working fine.
Does anybody have an 
idea what could be wrong? I'm getting 
pretty desperate over here ; )
Maybe 
somebody cab find the time to help me 
out on this. Not just for me, but for 
all the other guys that will probably 
upgrade to Windows XP one of these 
days/months/years(*).

Great work!
Just a remark: if you 
use the coolMenu in a MDI environment, 
the "system menu" of the MDI child is 
also sublclassed when the child is 
maximized. So, after a few clicks 
nothing works anymore.
Everything 
works fine if the child is NOT 
maximized.
Thanks for any help you 
could provide me.

Excellent work mate, but i've found an 
important bug that nobody else has 
mentioned here.
The trouble is 
that you cannot have any menu items on 
the same form that have similar 
captions. 
For example...
A menu 
item captioned "Windows Media Player" 
will have the same picture created as a 
menu item captioned with 
"Windows".
This is purely using 
simple menu captions, and not with the 
extra settings that would normally have 
been separated with a |. Is this the 
problem?
I'd really appreciate it if 
you could correct this cuz i've scanned 
thru the code and can't find anything 
like it.
Thanks Martin.

One more thing i've just noticed about 
that little caption bug.
This works 
perfectly with menu items that you have 
given a keyboard shortcut (example 
Ctrl+C), but without a shortcut... the 
bug occurs.
Thanks again.
