Sub Menu?

[rdcody]

Hey All,

I cobbled together a little code which allows me to have colored text with a
mouseover event (changes color) in a popup menu. It works great in Win98
but, I had someone look at it in WinXP, and the vertical alignment is off (it is
indented further than the rest of the items in the menu).

I believe the problem lies in getting the measurement of the first menu item.
I can get the .left position (which is 11), but that is the main menu. I need
to get the submenu item .left position.

I hard coded that position (21), but apparently XP is different. I don't know
about Win2000.

So, anyway, could someone help me get the sub menu...please?


I don't know if I explained this good enough or not...my mind is fried!

Yeah, but you said "is indented further than the rest of the items in the menu" so I kinda wondered But I'll have a look

AAAAhhhhhh...like I said, my minds fried! Thanks

Do you see what I mean...I need to find the first item (Open) in the menu.
Once that is found, then I can get the .left position. I think!

MyCurrentX = 16 makes it look ok here, but the its off at your's I guess, heh I'll try to take a look further tomorrow, right now its late and I need to study

Not quite sure what your exact problem is, but you use GetSubMenu() to retrieve the handle of the menu item.

GetSubMenu(hMenu, 0)
