Popup Menu

Biterider,
ok.
Pity, I hoped it would be source

[jj2007]

what is this ?

Probably what you were looking for

Attention, it might not work with Aero themes on.

[clamicun]

sUXT db "C:\windows\system32\UxTheme.dll",0
sFunc db "SetWindowTheme",0
swNull dw 0

.code
start:
   INVOKE LoadLibrary, ADDR sUXT
   .if eax
      INVOKE GetProcAddress, eax, ADDR sFunc
      .if eax
         push OFFSET swNull
         push OFFSET swNull
         call eax
      .endif
   .endif

TimoVJL,
Unfortunately not.
The dropdownmenu is colored, but not the menubar

Disabling "visual themes" in properties of .exe file you obtain a classic window with Aero theme around!

@Clamicum:
   This is exactly your second .exe file:

Hi clamicun
I send you the most important files with which you can look into the MenuBar functionality.
XMenu is the most important file. In particular, look into FlashMenuBar method.

Regards, Biterider

PS: the source code is 32/64 bit!

This is a colored menubar with a hatched background. No need for themes.
It is easy to do, so I believe you are talking about something different.

AW,
thats exactly what I am talking about but on my 2 computers (win7 and win 10) it doesn't work with SetMenuInfo.  (MIM_BACKGROUND + MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS).
Only the dropdownmenu (in your picture "Exit" gets colored

[AW]

No themes means: it works in Windows 2000 as well.


In summary:
1) In WM_CREATE you make the background with SetMenuInfo and mask MIM_BACKGROUND (no  MIM_APPLYTOSUBMENUS)
2) In WM_MEASUREITEM you define the itemWidth and itemHeight in the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT passed in the LPARAM
3) In WM_DRAWITEM you have the DRAWITEMSTRUCT passed in the LPARAM. From it you know what is the rectangle to paint.

Work in progress ;-)

SetToolbarColour RgbCol(200, 255, 200)

This refers to userdrawn menus. Works with others too? My example is not userdrawn

[TimoVJL]

You might want to use that techique for menu with bitmaps ;)
A C example using that.

[AW]

With Menubar OwnerDrawn is the way to go.
But best is Toolbar with or without dockbar.
