     This turned out to be more difficult to work out than the drawing of a button on the titlebar. Of course once I'd got it it was simple. Once again this code uses subclassing so always use the forms close button or the menus exit to stop the project, or you will crash.

Cool effect.

Voted five - your piece is nicely 
commented, idea is good, code is 
comprehendable; in a word, ideal PSC 
item. But... (1) by it you introduce a 
style, and no element of style could 
exists in isolation. Means the same 
style must apply to the form, and 
normal menus as well, and maybe to the 
other controls (2) what value you add? 
E.g., bitmaps in menus shorten learning 
curve for toolbar icons, so they 
justified. But what purpose this 
feature can serve?

It is a amazing work indeed. I'm not 
sure if this is a bug or not. I'm using 
Korean version of Windows 98 Second 
Edition. The first I clicked, the side 
bar of the menu always appeared 
'wrong.' The second time I tried it, it 
was working fine. If this is a bug, I 
think it should be easy to fix.

I have not seen this incorrect drawing 
so I cannot comment on this.
You 
should note however, that I have made 
no attempt to account for a second 
Ownerdraw MenuItem or other OwnerDraw 
Controls. It was meant simply to 
introduce you to the basics of 
OwnerDraw. Hopefully from here you will 
learn more about MeasureItemStruct and 
DrawItemStruct so that you can build 
Case statements into the MeasureMenu 
and DrawMenu subroutines and then 
modify only the desired item.
You 
will notice that if you remove the 
Titlebar from the form you will have no 
picture. I am hoping that you are going 
to adapt this code for your own 
requirements, and BitBlt a picture to 
the sidebar. I used the DrawCaption 
method here for simplicity, rather than 
correctness.

Just out of curiosity is this the same 
way the Start menu does it? Or the ICQ 
menu?

Using a Spy Tool on the Start Menu will 
show you that the Menu is of class 
"ToolbarWindow32" and the SideBar is of 
Class "BaseBar".
ICQ menu uses 
custom controls.
So the simple 
answer is no.

I great menu modification solution is 
availible from vbAccelerator.  You can 
use ICQ-sytle seperators, icons, and 
easy OwnerDraw options, with an example 
on gradient sidebars.  Menu:

vbAccelerator's example is indeed 
excellent, however, it uses it's own 
menu dll, probably written in C++, so 
you do not really get an Idea of what 
is going on. If you just want pretty 
menus without knowing how they are 
created then use their 
sample.
Benji: I haven't tried that 
but I will look into it. I am sure it 
is just a case of using InsertMenuItem 
and ModifyMenu to update the flag for 
the first menuitem.

Mick Doherty, all of vbAccelerator's 
controls are made from Pure VB (not C++ 
or somthing else, like said above)!! 
you can download the source to, for 
free!
