Paint a GUI Menu?

[Juvigy]

I have a GUI and a menu created with GUICtrlCreateMenu()

Is there a way to use a custom color for it?

GUICtrlSetColor and GUICtrlSetBkColor dont support menus.

10x - i tried to search but couldnt find anything.

My search parameters are not always the right one:)

Checked it out - it is nice but i dont seem to find how to do it for the MENU itself not just the menu items.

I re downloaded your file and started the sample again but still there is no color to the menu.

Am i doing something wrong?

[ProgAndy]

you have to create the items in the menubar with _GUICtrlCreateODTopMenu

The background-color of the rest of the bar is set with _GUIMenuBarSetBkColor($hParentGUI, $Color). ($color: maybe BGR instead of RGB, i do not remember)

10x

_GUIMenuBarSetBkColor($hParentGUI, $Color) - that fixed it:)

After playing a while o got some errors:

C:\ModernMenuRaw.au3(133,77) : ERROR: $WM_MOUSEMOVE previously declared as a 'Const'
If Not IsDeclared("WM_MOUSEMOVE")           Then Global Const $WM_MOUSEMOVE = 0x0200
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
C:\ModernMenuRaw.au3(135,77) : ERROR: $WM_LBUTTONUP previously declared as a 'Const'
If Not IsDeclared("WM_LBUTTONUP")           Then Global Const $WM_LBUTTONUP = 0x0202

If i remove those 2 lines from ModernMenuRaw.au3 my thing works , but i receive error in the sampleguiandtray.au3 that they are not defined.

I think they are included in another of the includes i am using. Which one?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <Array.au3>

#include <Misc.au3>

#Include <String.au3>

#include <Excel.au3>

Those are defined in WindowsConstants.au3 but the condition is if they are not define which is weird. The condition appears in ProgAndy's UDF library but not in WindowsConstants.au3 so try to include ModernMenuRaw.au3 after WindowsConstants.au3.

[GEOSoft]

Holgers script goes back to the days before those constants were in WindowsConstants.au3.

Just comment out the offending lines in the script.
