how to add ico or image to item in menu

[PsaltyDS]

See the help file example under: _GuiCtrlMenu_SetItemBmp()

Note the menu is created with the UDF also. You are asking for trouble if you use the native GuiCtrlCreateMenu() and then modify it with the UDF functions.

that function didn't work

that function didn't work

I don't think you used it properly then.

Please open your help file and turn to _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemBmp. Now boys and girls, would someone like to read the description of this function?

Sets the bitmap displayed for the item

Good. Now, what about the parameters?

$hMenuHandle of the menu$iItemIdentifier or position of the menu item$hBmpHandle to the item bitmap$fByPos[optional] Menu identifier flag:

True - $iItem is a zero based item position

False - $iItem is a menu item identifier

Right, so... Does that mean we should be using the GUICtrlCreateMenu or the _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu function? We should be using the latter! Yes, if we don't, then we'll run into some problems later - it's not owner drawn is it... So.. Did you take a look at the example? NO?? Well, that's not doing research is it. Let's see now:

    _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem ($hMain, 2, "&Help", 0, $hHelp)

    ; Set window menu
    _GUICtrlMenu_SetMenu ($hGUI, $hMain)

    ; Create memo control
    $iMemo = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 2, 2, 396, 276, 0)
    GUICtrlSetFont($iMemo, 9, 400, 0, "Courier New")
    GUISetState()

    ; Set New menu item to have a bitmap
    _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemBmp ($hFile, 0, _WinAPI_CreateSolidBitmap ($hGUI, 0xFF0000, 11, 11))
    MemoWrite("Item bitmap handle: 0x" & Hex(_GUICtrlMenu_GetItemBmp ($hFile, 0)))

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc   ;==>_Main

; Write message to memo
Func MemoWrite($sMessage)
    GUICtrlSetData($iMemo, $sMessage & @CRLF, 1)
EndFunc   ;==>MemoWrite

Now run the example and see what happens.
