>The ModifyMenu function call messes up the VFP menu item. By default VFP creates menu items that are drawn by VFP and not the Windows default handler. I am guessing there is special code in the VFP Windows message processing function that when a DrawMenuBar message comes through, it knows exactly what to do.

>The ModifyMenu function in this example, changes the OWNERDRAWN attribute to a STRING attribute. In order to do this correctly, you first have to have the original text so you can rewrite it. The sample doesn't do it. And I haven't found a way of retrieving this data with OWNERDRAWN menu items. I tried GetMenuItemInfo/SetMenuItemInfo with no luck.
