Holger , its excellent! Thanks

But how i can use IT instead of TrayCreateItem ? Very^2 nice menu, it's possible?

[slightly_abnormal]

way cool!

if possible can this icons be created on a button?

[strate]

Is it possible to use a *.ico file as the image instead of something from Shell32? if so how?

[Holger]

@strate: Try something like for example:

$ExitItem       = _GUICtrlCreateODMenuItem('Exit', $FileMenu, @ScriptDir & '\shutdown.ico', 0)

@archy: not possible at the moment! there is still some bigger issue I have to solve at first.

Thank you, your example didn't work so I changed it around. The following worked for me though.

Dim $nAddLabelItem      = MY_GUICtrlCreateMenuItem('Add/Remove Label', $nEditMenu, @ScriptDir & '\LE.ico', 0)

I thought I tried something similiar but I guess I was wrong lol. Thanks again this is a wonderful feature.

Holger,

Thanks for all your hard work.

I was only interested in how to change Button Color or Button Text Color. But colored menus with icons, wow, very cool.

Your work is very encouraging for users who don't have the skill-set of a developer.

Please keep up the good work in support of the average-man.

Just fixed 1 line to work with current release 3.2.0.X (first post for more infos).

Awesome man! Does this work with systray right-click menus too?

I don't think so but, you can try this otherone for traymenu.

This include library is superb, thanks Holger!

The only thing is that the performance of the modern menu drawing is not -that- fast, meaning that a lag can be seen on menu's with many items in it.. a shame for me, seeing as how I love the modern menu design..

Anyway, what I want to ask you is this: Can your include files be updated to allow for "GUICtrlSetData" without too much pain involved?!

Thanks,

Sunaj

[Hello Me You]

Thanks a lot

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Thnx Holger,

really nice..

But like Sunaj says GUICtrlSetData won't work with the nice menu structure..

do you know how to fix this

Thnx

It's only very recently occured to me that you can use the MM Lib to create Office 2003 style menus... I modified the XSkinGradient Code and injected it into the WM_DRAWITEM function. Just use this new feature like this:

_SetMenuIconGradBkColor(0xEFEFEF)

Knock yourselves out!
