Hey, you're right Dan, that function is not recommended for
color bitmaps on a menu item.
According to the documentation, drawing a color bitmap on
a menu item requires creating owner-drawn menu items, which
takes a bit more processing.
Take care for now,
Al

I was afraid that someone would throw this stuff at me

I can do it in my "other" language, but there it is an integrated
option in the IDE.
I've seen an Eu demo program that does it too, but without using
the win32lib. I thought maybe there was something hiding in the
win32lib, so I asked. Going to look at that other demo code (but
I think I remember that it was monochrome also).

Hi Peter,
Take a look on the MS site under Owner Drawn Menu Items.
Take care,

Hey Dan,
All the stuff I have gathered comes from the Euphoria site.
The demo is in the file winapi5.zip by Euman.
Also, the file arwen.zip has some nice menu tricks.
