bitmap in menu

>Is there a way to display a bitmap picture on the face of a menu...

Yes.

>..using the following .bas & .rc files?

I don't think so.

I can't see in the resource compiler help file (should be on your PB/CC program menu) that you can define a MF_BITMAP type MENUITEM in your resource script.

That means you will have to create the menu yourself in code using the WinAPI menu functions. Those functions are ...

CreatePopupMenu (to create the Popup menu which drops down from the main menu bar)
and
InsertMenu or AppendMenu (your choice) to add menu items with style MF_BITMAP, or to associate the new popup menu with the main menu bar.

There 'should' be examples here in the source code forum, somewhere. If not, those WinAPI functions are pretty simple ones to use and I know they work because I've used them many times.

[Michael Mattias]

Here's an example of adding Menu items to a menu using those functions with a menu defined in a resource script.

Add a 'Favorite Files' menu to your application 10-25-07

What I did here was define the popup menu (the one that drops down from the main menu bar) in the resource file with only the "constant" menu items, and I added the other items on the fly.

You can do the same thing, specifying style MF_BITMAP when you add those menu items which use bitmaps.

1. You simply must start using Code Tags when posting code. I even go so far as to suggest to edit your previous posts in this thread to insert them so we can read what you have done.

2. If you want your dialog to have a menu, the straightforward way to do that is to use the MENU statement in the dialog template, eg...

dialog_1 DIALOGEX 226,226,279,375
CAPTION " Picture Test"
FONT 8,"MS Sans Serif",0,0
STYLE 0x10CF0000
[b]MENU menuname[/b]
BEGIN
  {controls}
  ...
END

Details in the resource compiler help file installed with the compiler.

Just for style points (pun not intended)

STYLE 0x10CF0000

Inline numeric literals ("magic numbers") are a bad habit. Use the symbolic style names combined with the OR operator, eg..

STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION |WS_SYSMENU

That's a little easier to understand and debug, no? You'll have to #include resource.h (also supplied with compiler) in your resource script file.

3.

If I were to use this resource file in the program above (with a few name changes) , I would get a Menu but no Picture??

What happened when you tried? (You did try it, right?)

Saving the bitmaps in the menus for version 2.0?

That's actually a pretty good plan:

First you make it work; only then do you make it work better.
