    Sorry, I don't think there is a way to retrieve the window handle of the menu (if there is one). MAYBE with a combination of GetMenuRect and ChildWindowFromPoint, but I don't think so.
    You could change the system colors to change the background color of a menu but that would apply to ALL programs (and is therefore bad manner).

    no, the drawitemstruct is only for single items, not the whole menu

    but I wonder what happens when you call WindowFromDC with this dc...
    then GetDC
    then...
    SelectObject(HBITMAP) or maybe DrawState...
