OwnerDrawn Menu Items

Hi,

My application has a menu with some of the menu items that have their
own menu items. By default, VB will add a black right rectangle when
a menu items has its own menu items.

However, when my menu items have thier property OwnerDrawn set to
true I have to draw menu items and text inside each menu items by
myself. All that works fine, but how do I get the black right
triangle drawn as well?

Thank you

Have a look at the ControlPaint class, lots of goodies in there.
DrawMenuGlyph should be of particular interest to you.

Best Regards,

Have a look at the code below. It's a really simple example where I have added two controls to a form, a textbox and a combo box. Both add owner drawn context menus to the controls, but the combobox will NOT draw custom drawn context menu item. I have tried EVERYTHING (deriving from MenuItem and even tried calling TrackPopupMenuEx directly), but it just won't work! I am currently reflecting over the combobox source code (oh joy!), but...

Hello - I have a book that illustrates pulling menu items from a Sql Server table into an ascx via a stored procedure. Is this something that is done in the real world? I do like the effect when viewing it in the source code, however, because it doesn't show the complete path to the file. (I'm talking about Internet Explorer click View, click source code.)

Hi there! I have successfully create my own ownerdrawn menus. However, I decided to add some code for the menus to detect if their parent is a MainMenu object and, if it is, as it is the menuitem beeing displayed in the form's menu bar, it draws it differently. So far so good. But there are two thing I can't get around. 1 - How can I draw a custom menu when the mouse is over the menu item but the user hasn't clicked it, just like in...
