    Re: Change Menu color?

    i even tried to change the value of the const but it didnt like the RGB at all and couldnt figure out how to change it to HEX. a search on VBF gave me no luck.

    Complete project attached.
    username/password: test

    wouldnt let me attach: file too large.
    can download project here:

    Re: Change Menu color?

    the code is still useful in year 2008, thank you.

    I want to ask a question:
    I have a menu with four items : File, Edit, Tools, Help.

    Can I just make the menu bar "Help" in red color while the others three menu items (that is, File, Edit and Tools) remains default grey color.

    Thank you a lo

    it doesnt work if the menu is invisible! I like to hide the main menu and use the menu in a ownerdrawn menu
