Ok, I have some code wich works well on Win9x, but not on WinNT4. As PureCOLOR_SetPopupMenuBackColor() don't work with NT4 either, I will add some owner drawn menu functions to the next library version.

gnozal - thanks a lot for the great libraries. I was looking for a way to color individual lines in listicons but had quite a bit of trouble getting it to work correctly with callbacks. Worked but not well. Your lib saved me a lot of time :D I'm also using your purelvsort library for another project. Very nice.
Thanks!

Library update
What's new :
- new function : PureCOLOR_SetMenuColors() ; see example below.
Code: Select all
Procedure.l WindowCallBack(WindowId.l, message.l, wParam.l, lParam.l)
ReturnValue.l = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
;
ReturnValue = PureCOLOR_CallBack(WindowId, message, wParam, lParam, ReturnValue)
;
ProcedureReturn ReturnValue
EndProcedure
;
If OpenWindow(0, 10, 10, 300, 200, #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu, "Ownerdraw Menu Demo")
SetWindowCallback(@WindowCallBack())
If CreateMenu(0, WindowID())
MenuTitle("Menu 1")
MenuItem(1, "Menu item 1")
MenuItem(2, "Menu item 2")
MenuItem(3, "Menu item 3")
MenuItem(4, "Exit")
MenuTitle("Menu 2")
MenuItem(5, "Menu item 1")
MenuItem(6, "Menu item 2 (longer)")
MenuItem(7, "Menu item 3")
MenuTitle("Extra menu")
MenuItem(8, "Extra long menu item")
OpenSubMenu("The level 1 submenu")
MenuItem(9, "The pure power !")
OpenSubMenu("The level 2 submenu")
MenuItem(10, "What ?")
MenuItem(11, "Hello ...")
CloseSubMenu()
CloseSubMenu()
EndIf

PureCOLOR_SetMenuColors(0, #Red, RGB(200, 255, 200), #Red, RGB(100, 255, 100))

Hi,
1. Thank you for a very useful and effective library, I have used it in two projects and find that subtle colour use can be a very good way to provide emphasis.
2. I have tried the sample code in your posting of today and find that the menu text and the sub-menu arrows crash. Its OK in background colour only mode. I'm using XP Pro; fully up to date.
Regards,
Richard

Sadly I don't have XP, so I can't test it. It works well with Win98SE, and there is no text with NT4 (but no crash (missing API I think)).
- Do you use themes ?
- Do you have default system font for the menus ?

Hi,
I just re-read my post... sorry, it was misleading! The computer / program does not crash; what I should have said is that the text and the sub-menu arrow CLASH, the arrow appears over the text and not to the right of it.
Possibly an error in determining the text length in pixels?

Yes, probably. It seems to work with my defaut system font (Win98), but at this time it's not very accurate. I will try do better.
What is your menu font ?

Great addition.
Is it possible to add a feature to colour individual menu items?

OK:
The menu font is Tahona.
Windoze XP can use XP display mode or Classic display mode.
I run my machine in classic mode and the clash problem occurs.
I just switched it to XP mode and there was NO problem.
I then switched back to Classic and there was NO clash. Strange.
I will re-boot in classic mode and report back.

The problem has disappeared after a re-boot.
However, the first time I ran another another PB project the drop down menus were transparent... no text until I waved the mouse over them. I cannot repeat this effect.
I will report back if I can determine a stable bug.
