Hi Bernard,

>Thanks Herman. I have copied the code and will examine this weekend.

>The reason I'm interested id that I too am trying to imitate the win2003 effects with menu's in VFP with just purt vfp code. At the moment I can create simple menu's and popups in win2003 style - you know with th eblue bar on the left and bitmaps and orangeish highlights.

I just installed win2003 server last month, but honestly I can't remember the look of it. Can you send me the screenshots ? Maybe I can get more idea to add to the menu class


>I have sampled Command Bars and that stuff is great. I just want to do it my way and in pure VFP.

I know that feeling! The "do it my way" has been killing me many times <bg>
I'm working on the article now. This is even harder than I thought :-(

Regards
