Excellent update of the mighty Vlad's hook menu... with most of the stuff I was hoping for, great! 5 globes and a shoe in for a prize. For the future, perhaps you'd consider an alpha-blended shadow.

Excelent, Good job.
But, there's a litle problem with icon colors, i used the office 2003 style and i test it with some of my icons,, and it change the color to green. i guess its something related with the mask color, i added icons, no bitmaps.
Maybe i have done something bad.

I think this is a great control. 5*'s from me. I would just recommend a change for your next version (if any).
If I change the menu to office 2003, it would be nice the colour was to go across the complete menu bar rather than finishing up and the menu item, I am saying this because it looks a little weird with blue up to menu item style and then its grey after that.
Please email me back if your not quite as to what I am trying say..
Regards
Santa

hi, this is really an excellent code. thanks so much for sharing. but i have a little problem though, the display gets messed up when the caption of the menu item is changed at run time. in my application, the caption for the menus changes when certain events happen like when a listitem is selected, the menu caption changes to the name of that listitem selected. i can give you a screenshot if you want. - guyjasper

Hi,
This code is very great, i downloaded Vlad's code .
There is a point to correct : If you attach an icon to a menuitem fron an file who contains diffrent sizes, it does'nt select the correct size according to bitmap size selected before .
BUT it's a GREAT code anyway . 5 globes to you and to Vlad.

Excellent code! I'm using it in almost all my programs.
I detected a tiny issue: In Windows Vista or later and XP x64, the bottom left part of the menu's border doesn't have a shadow. It doesn't happen when you move the mouse to another top-level menu. It also doesn't happen when the window is maximized.
I have a suggestion, too: Can you help me find a way to add support for changing the top-level menu text color? You can even update the code here!

cant support MDI Forms,
an AlphaBlend or Gradient like in menu Office 2007 the yellow one when you hover the cursor on a menu, it would be great if this feature is implemented and should the whole top menu is change when you change the color, let say yellow the yellow color stop on the last menu, it should be on the whole top menu.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

11/25/2011 6:51:04 PM: Dennis Johnson
I finally found out what caused the missing shadow!
Here are the instructions to fix it:
Go to pvGetBackground function and locate the line: If OsVersion = VER_PLATFORM_WIN2000 Or OsVersion = VER_PLATFORM_WINXP Then
Change it to: If OsVersion >= VER_PLATFORM_WIN2000 Then
and that's it!
Apparently, the "correct" code was being executed only under Win2000 and XP, despite the fact that it should be executed under all Windows versions after 2000.
