You can achieve menu icon functionality with both FLTK 1.1.x and 1.3.x by generating Fl_Multi_Label instances comprising text and a pixmap then using them as the menu item's label. This technique is employed by programs such as fldigi to effect icons in menus. I'll supply to those already on this thread (or anyone else that's interested) the functions that facilitate this along with a simple demo program that shows how to use them (bit too verbose to inline or explain it all here). _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
