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,
