OwnerDraw menu

I come back with a new question regarding my OwnerDraw menu.
That is a classical ownerDraw menu to add icon and some other color
properties.

My feature is to color all the menu bar with the background color of the
items.
So I feel the left side of the menu bar with a FillRectangle.
I gather the width of the form for the Rectangle definition
Everything works well.

But unfortunatly the Event OnDrawItem is not actvate when I resize the Form
and
the left side of my menu stay grey like the standard menu.
Do you have any idea to how to force this event to redraw correctly my
menubar.
(This is done when the mouse is hoover an item !!)

Thanks for your comments.
Mick

There are properties for OwnerDraw on ContextMenu items. I know it can be done with regular menus. I cannot find anyone doing it with the systray icon contextmenu (notifyicon.) Is it possible to change fonts, colors, etc. of a context menu item if it is a system tray contextmenu? Thank you.

Hi group, I've got this ownerdraw menu module which I got from a site and modified to my personal needs, but the only problem I'm having is with the lines in a menu, when you type - as text, it normaly becomes a full line and the height of the menuitem is reduced but when you set a menu to ownerdraw and use my draw and measure item handlers this doesn't work anymore, has anyone worked out a good sloution for this before?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
