How can I change the color of a menu bar?

[HOW]

Hello,

How can I change the color of a menu bar?
I can't find an option or attribute to change the color of the menu bar.

These colors are inherited from the system and are not overrideable in CVI. You can change the color of the menu bars in the Display settings in the Control Panel, but this will change the menu color for all windows on the system.

I will relay a suggestion for a custom menu bar color attribute to our CVI developers.

Hi,
at least you could improve somewhat by using the correct system color
COLOR_MENUBAR instead of COLOR_MENU under Windows XP.

Another minor problem:
In my CVI applications the menubar does not follow a redifition in th
control panel. Colors conform to system colors only at application
startup.

Best Regards,
