Subject: how I can do this?
Question: hello Martin ,
I found your site while I was surfing on the internet.
It is very interesting.I am trying to learn programming in visual basic but I am still amateur.I would like to ask you a question because I believe that you know.
I know how to create menus with the menu editor but I want to add icons on the options.For example in Microsoft Word on the menus the option SAVE has a icon (a diskette)on the left.
How can I do this?Is it difficult?I searched 2 books but nothing!
Thanks a lot!
Bye
Fotis

Thank you for your e-mail.

The answer can be found on the VB-Helper website.

The following links will help you do this:

Add pictures to a popup menu: http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_popup_pictures.html

Put text with a color background in menus: http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_menu_colored_text.html

The first link shows you how to use the 'GetMenu', 'GetSubMenu' and 'SetMenuItemInfo' API functions.
