Title: Set Menu Color
Post by: Bruce Peaslee on August 30, 2010, 11:07:03 AM
I like my windows and dialogs to be just a little darker shade of gray than standard. This causes the menu bar to stand out. Here is a little routine to change the menu color to match (or not) that of the window.

Code Select
'ÂÃ,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯Ã‚Ã,¯
Sub SetMenuColor(int hWnd, int dwColor, int bIncludeSubmenus)
'_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
