    Does anybody know how to make your own custom menu bar such as seen in qbasic. When you create a text file in DOS mode then you get a nice looking blue colour text editor. There is flat menubar. I want to make my own menubar so I can customize colour, backcolour, etc,..
    Does anybody know how to make it from scratch.
    Baaaaaaaaah

    There's at least 2 ways to do it:

    #1: Use a custom ActiveX control.

    #2:

    • Set all of the menus into ownerdraw using the ModifyMenu API
    • Use SetWindowLong to subclass the form and catch the WM_DRAW message.
    • Draw the menu using GDI tools.


    Sample (hopefully, you can understand it):
    Attached Files Attached Files
