Menu seperators

On menus you will notice menu separators like this:

To do this in VB, simply use the following steps.

1) Select Tools | Menu Editor

2) Click on the item on the list after the menu item you want the separator to be displayed after, and click Insert. Make sure that there are the same number of .... before the item. If there is not use the < (reduce) and > (increase) buttons to change it.

3) Enter the a "-" (without quotes) in the Caption text box. This tells VB that this is a menu separator.

4) Enter a name for the separator and click OK.

    I have made a menu with1 1 Item (about) set it to enable - unchecked visable
    made a click event(msg box)


    then in my form mouse up event I put

    Code:

    Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Button = vbRightButton Then
       ' Set the flags
       vFlags = vbPopupMenuRightButton
       ' Display the menu
       PopupMenu about, vFlags
       End If
    End Sub
     I get compile error variable not defined   with vFlags?
    do i need to dim vFlags = "somthing " in the  Option Explicit section of the code?

    sorry 'bout that... there was an old style link lurking in there... I have corrected the link on


    http://www.developerfusion.com/show/15/10/, which now points to


    http://www.developerfusion.com/show/49/4/ (menu status subclassing)


    not sure about changing the colour of your menu, other than drawing it yourself, or using one of the http://vbaccelerator.com/ controls
