set color what do i wrong

[Spider001]

Why is set color not working.

#include <ColorConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
      Local $hGUI = GUICreate("addon downloader mozilla")
      Local $hidden = GUICtrlCreateMenu("test")
      Local $checksel = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Check selected",$hidden)
      GUICtrlSetColor ( $checksel, $COLOR_RED )
      GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

       While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc

Because.

Thus Saith The Hepfile :

"Only Button, Label, Checkbox, Group, Radio, Edit, Input, List, Listview, ListviewItem, Treeview, TreeviewItem, Graphic, Progress and Combo controls can currently be colored."

No way using the integrated functions

If you want a custom menu you will have to build it yourself, with i.e. this udf by Holger updated by LarsJ :
