OwnerDraw property for Menus

[genojoe]

This code is derived from:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2005JUL.1033/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsMenuItemClassOwnerDrawTopic .htm

The sample works as presented but does not contain a click event. Here is
my abridged version of the code. In this code, if I use MenuItem2.OwnerDraw
= False, it behaves as expected: no ownerdraw and when clicked, I see the
message.

If MenuItem2.OwnerDraw = True, I see the colored text but when I click,
nothing happens. How can I have colored text that responds to the click
event?
