MSW: Office 2003, Visual Studio 2003 menus Topic is solved

[ssigala]

Hello, I'm not a WIN32 API expert, so I have a question.

How do the Office 2003, Visual Studio 2003 applications draw their menus (with a style different than the standard WIN XP style)?

Is there some WIN32 API call paramenter that specifies the look-and-feel or the menus are own-drawn by the applications, and/or some DLL that is common by the two applications?

Thanks!

It's actually fairly involved. First, they generally do not actually use menus - they draw the "menu" on a toolbar, and then they custom draw the pop-up menus.

You'll have some luck at codeproject or codeguru for this.
