Gotta be careful with owner-draw though because then you lose all the dynamic properties like orientation and expansion when an item is added requiring more width. I used a TMS TAdvMenu and Menu designer, a bit of padding, and the popup event called from a right-mouse button down event and it works and looks pretty good. At least the style and colors/shading match the regular menus which I wanted too.

I think I'm wrong. Zayin points out owner-drawn menus. When you draw a menu yourself, you get to tell the OS how big the menu needs to be (since you haven't given any text with which the OS could measure the item itself). -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
