Add a bold non clickable header to a first level menu

[AndyS01]

I'm building a system menu that has 2 groups of selections and I want to add a header for each group but I cannot see how to do it.

 

I'd like to make them bold and also not clickable (like the separator line is)

 

I tried _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemHighlighted() but that didn't work.

 

Here is my test code:

expandcollapse popup

Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1) ; ESC closes GUI
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
OnAutoItExitRegister("ExitStageLeft")

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>

Global $hMainWin

_Main()

Func _Main()

    $hMainWin = GUICreate("test", 300, 300)

    create_menus()

    GUISetState()
    GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'ExitStageLeft')

    While (1)
        Sleep(500)
    WEnd

EndFunc   ;==>_Main

Func ExitStageLeft()
    Exit (1)
EndFunc   ;==>ExitStageLeft

Func create_menus()
    Local $iID_Menu, $id1, $id2

    $iID_Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Test")

    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Some entry", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("another entry", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $iID_Menu)

    $id1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Header 1:", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 1", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 2", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $iID_Menu)

    _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemHighlighted($iID_Menu, $id1, True)

    $id2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Header 2:", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 3", $iID_Menu)
    GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 4", $iID_Menu)

EndFunc   ;==>create_menus

I'm not sure if there is an easy way in doing this. I don't think so, but maybe with 'modern menu UDF'.

But why not this way:

expandcollapse popup

Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1) ; ESC closes GUI
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
OnAutoItExitRegister("ExitStageLeft")

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>

Global $hMainWin

_Main()

Func _Main()

$hMainWin = GUICreate("test", 300, 300)

create_menus()

GUISetState()
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'ExitStageLeft')

While (1)
Sleep(500)
WEnd

EndFunc ;==>_Main

Func ExitStageLeft()
Exit (1)
EndFunc ;==>ExitStageLeft

Func create_menus()
Local $iID_Menu, $id1, $id2

$iID_Menu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&Test")

GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Some entry", $iID_Menu)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("another entry", $iID_Menu)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $iID_Menu)

$id1 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Header 1:", $iID_Menu)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 1", $id1)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 2", $id1)

GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $iID_Menu)

$id2 = GUICtrlCreateMenu("Header 2:", $iID_Menu)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 3", $id2)
GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Item 4", $id2)

EndFunc ;==>create_menus
