Menu Editor

Hello friends.
This is arvind. I need a help from you people.

I know how to handle Menu editor. what i need is, is there any way that i can increase the size of the Menus ( like file, edit etc). normally menus will be 4 or 5 in font size. i want to change that to 15 size. is there any way to do that.

Menu font size is a system setting; the user may set it according to his preference using Windows' display properties. The only way you may override the user's setting is to use owner-drawn menus (http://www.google.com/search?q=vb+owner+draw+menu+-net) or simulate a menu using some other type of control.

With this little app you can add pictures to menu items. If you change the Forms font and fontsize this will change the menu font and fontsize. This is a nice bit of subclassing. ;)

I tried your Cool_Menu project and none of the images showed up. They were all blank. When you moused over the items the area where the image should be formed a raised atea but the image was still blank. I checked the Image list control and all of the images were there, but did not show in the menu's.
