you can´t modify normal XbpMenu() while "painting" is done by OS()
you can use Ownerdraw Menu to use Icon+Text+Gradient (Red Area)
you can use Ownerdraw MenuBar to "paint" Text or Gradient or Image (Green Area)

I don't quite understand what you are wanting but I suspect that it can be done with owner drawing.

Hi Jimmy and Roger,
It just like the example, Jimmy demonstrated. Can you give me a little help for doing it with owner drawing or an example in xdemo or in the samples?
Thanks
Peter

use Source from C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Source\samples\basics\OWNERDRW
in Demo Sample C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Source\samples\basics\OWNERDRW\OWNERDRW.prg you will find this Code
Code: Select all
oMbar := oDlg:menuBar()
oMbar:measureItem := {|nItem,aDims,self| MeasureMenubarItem(oDlg,self,nItem,aDims) }
oMbar:drawItem := {|oPS,aInfo,self | DrawMenubarItem(oDlg,self,oPS,aInfo) }
to use a Image as Logo in Menubar we have to modify it this Way
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE AppMenu( oMain )
LOCAL oMenuBar := oMain:menuBar()
LOCAL oLogo := XbpBitmap():new():create()
oLogo:load(,201)
oMenuBar:measureItem := {|nItem,aDims,oSelf| MeasureMenubarItem(oMain,oSelf,nItem,aDims) }
oMenuBar:drawItem := {|oPS,aInfo,oSelf | DrawMenubarItem(oMain,oSelf,oPS,aInfo,oLogo) }
now modify in C:\ALASKA\XPPW32\Source\samples\basics\OWNERDRW\MENUS.PRG
Code: Select all
CLASS MyMenu FROM XbpMenu
...
FUNCTION DrawMenubarItem( oDlg, oMbar, oPS, aInfo, oLogo ) // add oLogo
...
LOCAL nMax := oMbar:numItems()
LOCAL nGraWide := oPS:SetPageSize()[1][1]
IF BAND( aInfo[ 2 ], XBP_DRAWACTION_DRAWALL ) != 0 .AND. aInfo[ 1 ] = nMax
oLogo:draw( oPS, { aInfo[4][3], aInfo[4][2], nGraWide, aInfo[4][4] },,,GRA_BLT_BBO_IGNORE )
ENDIF

If you must have this, it would be best if I just added it as a feature to dcmenu, especially since it alrEady supports owner drawing.

Hi Roger,
if you change the menu ownerdrawing, can you add a ITEMHEIGHT <pixel> and a ICONSIZE <pixel>, so that the height of an item is calculated by the fontsize + itemheight ? Would be a nice feature for ownerdrawing menus.

I am still not understanding what you want.
If a logo graphic is used as a background, then the menu items may be hard to read.
Why do you need this?
