COwnMenu Make Office-style picture menus

Kalani Thielen  (1 Submission)   Custom Controls/Forms/Menus   Visual Basic 3.0   Unknown Difficulty   Wed 3rd February 2021

To create an "Office-style menu" (or owner-draw menu) you must register that menu item with Windows as MF_OWNERDRAW and then process the WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM messages sent to the menu's parent window. The attached project file simplifies this process by encapsulating all menu drawing operations in a class called "COwnMenu" and hiding the details of working with Windows in a code module entitled "OMenu_h." With this mini-system in place, all you have to do to get owner-drawn menus in your program is call SetSubclass on the menu's owner form and RegisterMenu to set a menu item as owner drawn. The provided example project contains complete documentation.
