Icons on dynamic popup menu

Hello everyone.

I took a program over from someone.

This program is used to disable the normal popmenu in a textbox, so, subclassing is involved.
Now, we had to do 2 things to the new "textbox menu", add colors, or add icons to the menu items.
we have got the background colours sorted out, but we are unable to add icons to this dynamic popupmenu.

This is the code:

Code:

if you were to add 2 pictureboxes, one textbox and 2 commandbuttons to the form, you'll see that the normal textbox menu is disabled when you right click in it, when you click button1, you'll be able to see the background colour of the menu, but when you click the second button, you'll see that not even a menu appears now.
All i want to do is to add icons to this dynamic popmenu.

can anyone help?

You don't need to subclass. Just do something like this.

Code:

---

Private Sub Text1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

    If Button = vbRightButton Then
        Text1.Enabled = False
        Text1.Enabled = True
        PopupMenu mnuPopup
    End If

End Sub

Thanx for your input sir. I took it away now. Any ideas on how to get pictures on a popupmenu?
