    Colouring a Menu?

    Is it possible, without creating a custom control, to change the colour of a menu?

    without creating i custom control ??? i dont think so.

    the traditional solution is to create a custom control that inhereits from the menu control and overrides it's paint event.

    if any1 has an easier way to do it, i will be delighted to know it

    You can do OwnerDrawn menu coloring. There is a sample in the 101 .NET Tutorial download at the top of the vb.net forum.
