Adding icons to Menus????
Morning everyone,
Does anyone know how to add icons to menus? I have tried using the 'Adding Bitmaps to Menus' example on VB World but I could only get a bitmap image to appear next to the first item on my form menu.
My form menu structure is as follows:
File: New, Open, Close, Exit
Edit: Cut, Copy, Paste
What I need to do is add icons to the 'New, Open, Exit' items under the file menu and to 'Cut, Copy & Paste' under the edit menu.
The code I am using at the moment is the code from vb world:
The code below is in a code module
Code:
Declare Function GetMenu Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Declare Function GetSubMenu Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPos As Long) As Long
Declare Function GetMenuItemID Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPos As Long) As Long
Declare Function SetMenuItemBitmaps Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, _
ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal hBitmapUnchecked As Long, _
ByVal hBitmapChecked As Long) As Long
Public Const MF_BITMAP = &H4&
Type MENUITEMINFO
cbSize As Long
fMask As Long
fType As Long
fState As Long
wID As Long
hSubMenu As Long
hbmpChecked As Long
hbmpUnchecked As Long
dwItemData As Long
dwTypeData As String
cch As Long
End Type
Declare Function GetMenuItemCount Lib "user32" _
(ByVal hMenu As Long) As Long
Declare Function GetMenuItemInfo Lib "user32" _
Alias "GetMenuItemInfoA" (ByVal hMenu As Long, _
ByVal un As Long, ByVal b As Boolean, _
lpMenuItemInfo As MENUITEMINFO) As Boolean
Public Const MIIM_ID = &H2
Public Const MIIM_TYPE = &H10
Public Const MFT_STRING = &H0&
The code below is in a Form
Code:
hMenu& = GetMenu(Form1.hwnd)
hSubMenu& = GetSubMenu(hMenu&, 0)
hID& = GetMenuItemID(hSubMenu&, 0)
SetMenuItemBitmaps hMenu&, hID&, MF_BITMAP, _
Picture1.Picture, Picture1.Picture
Thanks in advance for any help,
